Description: | A fragment of a copper alloy Roman brooch, consisting of the upper end of the bow and the two wings. There is some decoration on the top of the bow, consisting of four longitudinal grooves. These extend a short distance down the bow; the remaining portion is plain. There is no decoration evident on the wings which are tubular with a slot for the hinged pin. Most of the bow, the pin, pin bar, and the catch plate are all missing. The brooch has a dark brown patina. It is 22mm long, 21.5mm wide, and 8.6mm thick. It weighs 3.17gm. The brooch is probably a T shaped brooch similar to number 906 and 916 on page 302 of Hattatt's Visual Catalogue of Ancient Brooches. It probably dates from the 1st or 2nd century.
