Description: | Copper Alloy Brooch. Cast T-Shaped Brooch with broad tubular wings retaining the stub of a hinged pin. A finely moulded quasi-D-shaped bow - the 'straight' reverse side of the D is actually biconvex - grips the wings and bears low moulded curvilinear decoration along its crest and upper sides. This decoration in particular is in a high-quality Celtic style. The bow tapers towards an un-pierced folded catch-plate and a simply moulded drum-shaped foot. The wings are surmounted by a rectangular lug or panel with a small circular loop on top. Neatly incised billeted decoration runs across this top panel, and in two bands around each wing. It appears likely that further horizontal billeting followed the crest of the bow, though wear obscures its original extent. Suggested date: Early Roman, 75-150.Length: 69.5mm, Width (wings): 30.1mm, Thickness (crest of bow): 9.1mm, Weight: 34.54gms
