Description: | A copper-alloy Roman T-shaped brooch with hinge mechanism dating to AD 50-150. The brooch comprises a bent pin which is attached to hinge mechanism. At the top of the brooch, there are two arms forming a T with the bow. The bow is decorated with a square at the top over the T bar. The design then forms a lattice pattern with three lozengiform recesses. The bow ends in a small foot. In profile, the front of the bow is initially flat and angled from the T bar before angling down and curving to the the foot. Cf Hattatt (1989) A Visual Catalogue of Richard Hattatt's Ancient Brooches p303 nos 908 and 386.
