Description: | Cast copper alloy T-shaped brooch dating to the Roman period, (45-410AD). The wings of the brooch are tubular and short with a raised ridge bordering each end. The head is flat and takes a sharp downturn joining the bow. The bow is curved only slightly and tapers to the foot. The head is decorated with two incised diagonal lines. The bow is decorated with a central panel which runs to just before the foot. Small diagonal incisions decorate the panel. Radiating out from either side of this panel are raised moulded pointed ovals each of which as a central incised line. The foot is small and rounded. The spring is intact but is corroded and the pin is missing. The catchplate is tall and the back of it is decorated with incised lines. The object has a light green patina and is in good condition.
