Description: | Cast copper alloy Roman T-shaped brooch, with red enamel still intact in the circular settings on the bow of the brooch. The three settings are surrounded by raised and moulded diamond shaped frames, lined up in a vertical row, and defined by raised ridges either side of each point. The wings have two linear parallel incisions at each end. The hinge and pin (37 mm long) survive in their entirety, but the foot of the brooch and the catchplate are missing.Hattatt (2000) illustrates similar examples on page 303, Fig.162, Nos.908, 386 and 28, which are dated from the 1st to the 2nd century AD.
