Description: | An incomplete copper alloy brooch of Roman date (AD100-400). All that remains of the brooch is the head loop which is formed from a single circular sectioned strip of metal bent to form a tight loop. A rectangular bar is wrapped around the loop to hold it in place. On one side face of this bar are five small worn triangular indentations as decoration. This loop would have projected from the head of a brooch and been used for attachment to a chain.The metal has a dark brown patina and is smooth. The loop is 16.80mm in length, 20.09mm wide, 5.37mm thick and weighs 3.26g. A similar example has been recorded as YORYM-19BBC5.
