Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy Roman Colchester derivative, possibly a T-shaped brooch dating to the period c. AD 50 - 150. The brooch has only the wings, head, part of the bow, and the pin left. The wings are tubular in shape and each terminate with two incised lines, with corrosion product in the holes at the ends. They feature a central groove to which the hinged pin is still attached. The pin itself is bent, but is still loose in the hinge. The head extends back from the wings in an arch and terminates at an old break down the bow. The decoration on the head and bow are two parallel ridges in relief with notched lines running down each.The brooch measures 14.59mm in length, 23.14mm in wing width, 4.00mm and 4.12mm in wing diameter, 6.83mm in maximum head width, 5.61mm in minimum bow width, 3.39mm in bow thickness, and weighs 3.84g.The brooch is similar in design to Hattatt, pp. 296, no. 252, and pp. 297, no. 19.
