Description: | An incomplete copper alloy developed Roman T-shape brooch, dating to the period c.AD 50 - 150. The brooch measures 34.71mm in length, 21.70mm in width at its widest, 3.33mm at its narrowest, 2.15mm in thickness at the bow, and weighs 4.25g. The pin is missing.The brooch exhibits a circumferential incised groove at each wing's terminus, and these wings house the remains of the copper alloy axis bar for the hinged pin mechanism. The pin is missing. The bow archaes back from the head, measuring 10.48mm in width at the point at which is extends from the wings. It then carrows sharply on either side to a width of 8.25mm before tapering to the foot. There is a raised moulded reserve creating a lozenge shaped recess containing degraded enamel (now yellow) on the crest of the bow. The leg is incised with four transverse grooves just above the moulded knobbed foot.The catchplate extends from the reverse of the brooch and terminates in a rolled pin bar. The reverse is undecorated and the brooch has a green patina on the surface.Cf. Hattatt (2000) p.302, figure 161, no.395
