Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy Roman T-Shaped brooch with hinged pin fitting. Only the wings, axis bar and part of the bow remain. The wings of the brooch are cylindrical in section. The brooch is very worn so decoration is difficult to discern but there are the traces of a single incised groove running around each end of the wings. The wings are solidly cast with a cylindrical axis bar running through the centre which is visible at both ends. The wings have a central open slot where the now missing pin would have been attached. The slot has split to either side possibly due to corrosion processes or damage. The bow of the brooch is slightly narrowed where it meets the wings and then broadens just below this, then tapers gently towards the missing foot. The bow has some decorative moulding along the crest but the brooch is too worn to discern any detail. The foot, catchplate and pin are missing.This brooch has been dated, in line with other examples of hinged T-Shaped brooches, to the earlier Roman period c. AD. 43-100.
