Incomplete copper-alloy Roman bow brooch of probable T-shaped type and dated AD 50-150. Only the wings and uppermost part of the bow survive. The wings are cylindrical in shape with the axis bar enclosed within and an open slot, notably located off-centre, for taking the hinged pin. The head of the pin is still in situ. The off-centre placement of the hinge slot appears to represent a deliberate avoidance of the raised crest which runs from the head of the brooch down the centre of the arched bow. The wings of the brooch are each decorated with a single incised diagonal line. Th…

Incomplete Roman copper-alloy enamelled disc brooch of 2nd century date. The brooch is circular with a concave face and a raised open-topped conical centre which probably held a stone.

The overall design contrasts to the broadly similar tutulus style disc brooches in that they have a flanged conical centre. Surrounding the central cone the face of the brooch is decorated with an inlaid red enamel design. The red enamel fills…
