Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy T-shape brooch of probable late 1st to mid 2nd century date (see Andrews-Wilson et al. 2008: 20).The wings consist of a horizontal half-cylinder. The spring is intact, held in place by the axis bar which sits within a central perforated lug. On the upper surface each wing bears two pairs of vertical grooves. The head is wide, extending smoothly from the back of the wings and tapering sharply into the bow. The bow has a flat underside and a convex upper surface with a pronounced central ridge and a pair of grooves along each side. The bottom of the bow and the foot are missing, as is the pin. The corroded surfaces of the brooch have been coated with a black substance. The object measures 23.6mm long, 27.9mm wide (wings) and 13.1mm deep. The weight is 7.35g.
