Description: | Incomplete Roman copper alloy and enamel T-shaped brooch, with a damaged wing and catchplate and missing the shank of its pin. Its length is 34.21mm and it weighs 3.66g.The incomplete wingspan is 17.93mm but would have originally been c.22mm. The wings are tubular and decorated to the front with three transverse grooves at the open end. A D-shaped chain loop with a circular piercing 2.7mm in diameter extends upwards from the wings. The piercing appears to not go all the way through, and possibly retains corroded remains of the chain. To the reverse of the wings is the head of the pin and stub of shank.The D-shaped in section bow, which projects slightly before dropping straight down, is surmounted at the top by a rectangular cell containing red enamel. Below this the bow tapers to a globular foot 3.7mm in diameter.1st/ 2nd century AD.
