An incomplete Roman copper-alloy initial T-shaped brooch, missing the majority of its bow and pin, and also the leg with catch-plate.

Broad period: ROMAN
County: Devon
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete copper-alloy Roman developed T-shaped brooch (Colchester derivative) dating to c. AD 75-150. Much of the bow is missing. The wings are possibly broken through an original cylinder; nothing of the brooch apparatus survives. At the centre is a longitudinal slot, presumably to accommodate the expanded head of a hinged pin. The head of the bow arches back from centre of the wings before dropping downwards and tapering to the break. The bow is a sub oval in cross section at the old break. The head is decorated with double stepped low triangular moulding, now wor…
