Description: | A copper alloy incomplete Roman brooch, probably a T-shaped brooch dating from AD 43 - 200. The tubular wings hold a copper alloy axis bar, and there is a slot for the hinged pin, which is missing. The front of the wings are decorated with an oblique groove on each. The bow extends horizontally from the wings before curving downwards. The upper bow is decorated with three deep transverse grooves, and below them a vertical ridge along the apex. The foot tapers to a blunt point. Part of the catchplate survives. The breaks are worn and patinated. The metal has a dark green to black patina. The brooch is 33.2mm long, 28.3mm wide and 12.9mm thick. 8.2g. Similar brooches can be seen on page 302 - 304 of Hattatt's Visual Catalogue.
