Description: | An incomplete copper alloy Roman hinged initial T-shaped brooch. Only the upper part of the bow and half the head survives. The bow expands towards the top forming a slight crest in profile. A moulded ridge runs longitudinally along the centre and the sides are decorated with two inwards curving lines. The remaining half of the head is semi-cylindrical and decorated with two beaded transverse ridges. There is a notch in the centre of the reverse. Presumably it would have been fully cylindrical originally, but is now damaged, as there are no spring attachments. Bayley and Butcher (2004, 159) suggest a late first century date for this type.Length: 25.0mm, width: 21.0mm, thickness: 12.0mm, weight: 6.76g
