The crossbar is decorated with two pairs of transverse grooves on each wing. The bow protrudes from the centre of the cross bar and is slightly angular and forms an inverted 'L shape in profile and is undecorated. The break of the bow, is not recent, and is broken just below the crossbar. The brooch surface has a mid grey/green patina. It measures 10.93mm long, 24.37mm wide and it weighs 3.5g.The brooch is possibly an initial T-shaped brooch, which are described as being mainly hinged, not enamelled, and lacking a headloop dating the second half of the 1st century (Bayley and Butcher, 2004: p. 159).Bayley and Butcher, 2004 Roman Brooches in Britain: A technological and Typological Study Based on the Richborough Collection Society of Antiquaries.
