Description: | A cast copper alloy Roman T-shaped brooch variant, dating from the first to secong centuries AD. The brooch has wide wings of copper alloy that totally encase the copper spring; a small length of the hinged pin protrudes from the centre of the wings but most of the length is now broken and missing. The bow head is flat where it extends from the wings before bending at a near-right angle. The spine of the bow is decorated with a panel with two vertical ribs that terminate above the catchplate; the bottom third of the bow is undecorated and on the reverse the catchplate has an openwork element and is complete. c. AD 43-175.
