Description: | An incomplete copper alloy T-shaped brooch. The wings are long and cylindrical and house the axis bar for a hinged pin, which is missing. The front of the wings is decorated with grooves and ridges running around the circumference. The bow is C-sectioned, convex-fronted and is decorated with a large central longitudinal groove flanked by two ridges at each side. These extend for three quarters of the bow length, below which there are a series of lateral ridges and grooves. The bow tapers to a pointed foot. The back of the upper bow is hollow. No trace of a catchplate survives. 1st ? 2nd century AD. | 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: | 200 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Ciorstaidh Hayward Trevarthen | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
