Description: | A cast copper-alloy Roman T-shaped brooch. The brooch is complete and in good condition other than a slight bend out of alignment around half way along the bow. The head features a pair of tubular wings constructed by bending the sheet round. Near the end of each wing is an incised transverse line. The wings obscure the axis bar which is made from iron and has now largely corroded. The extant pin is looped round this hinge. On the reverse of the foot the catchplate has survived very well. The bow is semi-circular in profile and tapers from a width of 7.2mm at the head to 3.0mm at the foot. A small knurled rib extends from the crest for just 15.9mm down the bow. There is also a small transverse rib delineating a foot-knob typical of the T-shape type.
