Description: | Roman copper alloy hinged T-shaped brooch. The brooch is near complete, with only the pin absent. The wings are short and tubular and appear to hold an iron axis bar. The upper portion of the bow holds a rectangular panel with central triangular and lozenge shaped cells, the enamel no longer survives, but the remnants suggests a blue enamel. The remainder of the rectangular panel, outside the central cells is now pale grey colour. Beneath the panel is a pair of ?leaves?. The lower area of the bow gently narrows to a delicate foot. The lower bow tapers from a slight central rib to an incised line on each side. The catch-plate has a circular perforation and is curved at the top. The head loop is in-filled and may have been enamelled. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 50
