Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy Roman T-shaped Colchester derivative Brooch dating to the early to late first century. The brooch is missing the bottom half of its bow, pin and catch plate. The bow has a central incised rib which is decorated by irregular horizontal grooves. This central rib is flanked each side by a second plain rib and groove. The arms of the brooch have two incised transverse grooves which flare from the head of the brooch to the end of the arms. The head of the bow has an extension which is broken, it is likely to be from the remains of the spring mechanism of the pin. In profile the bow has a humped head and curved reverse.
