Description: | Complete Roman copper alloy T-shape brooch of the Dorset type. An integral loop extends upwards from the head, and the tubular wingspan is c.20mm in length. The bow extends almost at a right angle from the head for a litle way, before dropping : from the reverse of the brooch, the bow falls in a smooth curve, but the panelled decoration on the front gives it a rather more angular feel. The panelled decoration is within a raised rectangular area and filled with two areas of rocker-arm motif either side of a central rib. The leg extends smoothly below this, the curve unbroken, while the catchplate extends to the reverse, curl complete. A tiny semi circular foot projects at 90 degrees to the leg. To the reverse, the pin is sharp and the axis bar corroded into position. Length 46mm. 1st-2nd century, Cf Hattatt nos.401 & 923. | 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: | 1
