BROOCH

Unique ID: WAW-8C87B4

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Published Find published

Romano-British brooch of the type refered to by Hattatt as 'tutulus type'. Its body is in the form of a low cone on the apex of which is a cup-like finial with a small central boss. Around the cone was 4mm wide band on the edge of which were small protrusions, two of which survive. On the back is the remains of the pin-lug, now broken. The brooch was damaged in anitquity.

Notes:

While Hattatt uses the term 'tutulus' brooch for this object I would prefer to restrict this term to Early Medieval brooches which are notable for their composite form, the elements of which were held together by a central pin.
