Description: | An incomplete Roman (AD 43-100) copper alloy Colchester two-piece brooch, missing its spring mechanism and pin. It measures 66.31mm in length and weighs 6.80g.In plan, the T-shaped brooch comprises a bow with short wings at the top (which measures 19.45mm across) and has a central raised protrusion at the top of the bow which originally held the spring mechanism and pin. The wings flare from the bow, widening out from the centre and are broken at the ends where there is a semi-circle remaining from the hole where the spring and pin were positioned. Along the length of the bow, there are five curved ridges which terminate just before the top of the bow. The central ridge has a decorative pricked pattern creating a ribbed effect. The inner side of the bow is smooth.In section, the brooch is D-shaped with an intact catchplate and hook. The bow is slender and is 1.99mm thick. Cf. Hattatt no. 1458.
