Description: | Incomplete copper alloy Roman T-shaped brooch, missing part of one wing, most of its loop, its pin and lower bow, foot and catchplate. The incomplete wingspan is 24mm, estimated original wingspan 26.5mm. Incomplete length 35mm, weighing 5.27g. The tubular wings appear to still hold the axis bar, now represented by corroded iron. A stump of the pin remains, corroded in place. At the surviving wing-end is a double incised line, at the front only. The bow extends, flat, at an angle from the front of the wings. It is here the remains of the flat loop project upwards, although only a small stump remains. The bow, where it projects, is 11.5mm wide and turns downward after 7mm creating a flat rectangular area (the patina is smooth and shiny) decorated with an incised X, the ends reaching to each corner. The bow is then 10.5mm wide and more curving in profile (the reverse is slightly hollowed) and, below a traingular area which would have held enamel, trinagular in section. The break is just below a pointed oval area which would also have held enamel (ancient break). The triangular area now has traces of white within it. Both areas have high sides, 0.5-1mm tall. Flanking both long edges of the bow is a lowered area, 1mm wide at the top of the bow and narrowing to c.0.5mm wide further down. 1st-2nd century | 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
