Description: | An incomplete copper alloy initial T-shaped brooch, dating to the period c. AD 43-100. The brooch comprises the wings, head and bow, but is missing the catchplate, spring and pin. The wings are convex and are decorated with two incised longitudinal lines at each terminus. The bow is decorated with a central longitudinal moulding, flanked by incised grooves, which commences at the head and terminates at the foot. The bow curves gently outwards before curving back in and tapering towards the foot. It is D shaped in cross section. The remains of the catchplate project outwards from the reverse of the foot. There is a green patina on the surface, with patches of a black patina in some areas. The brooch measures 37.91mm in length, 30.69mm at the wings, is 2.41mm thick and weighs 6.23g. Cf. Bayley and Butcher p.158, no. T121B.
