Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy T-shaped brooch of Roman (late 1st to mid 2nd century) date.The head consists of a horizontally aligned cylinder which contains a copper-alloy axis bar. The now-damaged pin is attached to this axis bar at a central slit in the head and has been looped around it twice, a curved protrusion having been created on the underside to prevent over-rotation. On either side of the head is a decorative 'V-shaped' groove. The bow is of roughly 'D-shaped' section, having a low ridge at the centre, with a flanking groove on either side. The patination of the break indicates that the lower portion of the bow was lost in anqituity. The artefact measures 14.6mm long, the head is 22mm wide and 8.7mm thick (dimensions do not include distorted pin). The weight is 4.4g.
