Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy T-shaped Roman brooch (AD 70 - AD 150). Length: 16.2mm; width: 28.7mm; weight: 4.16g.Part of the wings and about half of the bow survive and the other parts are missing.The wings are cylindrical and contain a tiny portion of a copper alloy axis bar at one end. The head of the brooch, where the hinged pin would have been secured is damaged and has a recess for the mechanism. The bow is convex at the front and flat at the rear. Where the bow joins the wing it has a width of 10.4mm and at the old transverse break the width is 6.1mm.The brooch is in poor condition and is largely corroded overall. At the rear in the angle between the wings and the bow there is a small patch of shiny mid-green patina. All the breaks are old.
