Description: | *Brooch second from right in image* Fragment of copper alloy Roman T-shape brooch, missing its pin, most of the bow and part of the attachment loop. The wings are tubular and 27mm in span. They are hidden by a long narrow head of exactly the same proportions as the front of the tubular wings. This head is decorated with a pair of incised lines flanking each end. There are no remains of the pin but there is iron staining around the slot at the reverse of the wings. From the top of the long and narrow head an attachment loop extends upwards and the bow extends forwards and downwards for 9mm until the (old) break. The attachment loop is mostly broken and the bow is flat and 11mm wide, with vertical incised lines flanking the edges and two more incised lines creating a V within the space between them. Fragment length 13mm. 2nd century.
