Description: | Copper alloyBrooch fragment. Possibly a T-Shaped Brooch variant. Cast bow which appears to be concavo-convex - hollow-backed - at the crest of the bow. The bow bears a hump, a sort of feature unkindly described by Hattatt (1985, no. 402) as like a boil, as if the hump of a dolphin brooch had slipped backwards; this may alternatively be an eccentrically placed stud. There is the stub of a catch-plate, but no evidence for a foot. At the head, there are relicts of tubular wings with a slot for a hinged pin between them, and the stub of a chain loop. The brooch is very heavily abraded. Suggested date: Early Roman, 75-150. Length: 37.9mm, Width: 14.5mm, Thickness (crest of bow): 5.6mm (though as noted, hollowed); Weight: 5.19gms.
