Description: | An incomplete Roman (AD 50-150) copper alloy Developed T-shaped brooch, consisting of the wings and the upper bow only. The wings are tubular and span 42.97mm. They are decorated towards either end with c.4 transverse grooves to the front only. To the back, at the centre, is the slot for the pin. Apparent here and at either end of the wings are traces of iron staining, presumably from the (missing) pin. The upper bow extends from the front-centre of the wings, a groove accentuating its outline along the top of the bow. At this point the head of the bow is rather trumpet-like, being semi-circular in shape (c.15x5.5mm) with a narrowed projection curving outwards and downwards (D-shaped in cross-section and 4.5x3.5mm). This expands at the other end to mirror the head, and beyond is a broken lower bow projection.The brooch survives to a length of 20.68mm and weighs 10.64g.
