Description: | Cast copper alloy fragment of a Roman T-shape hinged brooch with one wing extant and the head of the bow with an applied loop or hook. The wing is tubular with a copper alloy wire or spigot protruding from inside it at the centre of the two wings where the hinge would have been, now missing. The back of the head has been hollowed out to allow for the hinge movement. The wing is incised at its end with two lines that run parallel from the front of the wing to the underside but do not carry on to the top of the wing.
Hattatt (2000) illustrates a similar example on page 304, Fig.163, No.923 which is referred to as the Dorset type and dated to the 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: | 1
