Description: | Fragment of a cast copper alloy brooch. The brooch is T-shaped and dates to the early Roman period, circa AD60-100. Only the wings and a hook (which would have originally retained the spring) remain. The hook is bent out of shape. The damage is not new. The wings are semi-cylindrical with a concave underside that would have held the absent spring pin. The wings are undecorated. The surface of the brooch is heavily worn and patinated. From end to end of the wings - which would have been the width of the complete brooch - is 17.97mm. The brooch is now 7.66mm long and 8.63mm thick. Weight: 1.49g.
