Roman copper alloy penannular brooch
Penannular brooch with a circular-sectioned ring, tapering to the terminals where it narrows to form wire which is coiled three times before passing back to wrap around the shank nine times at one end and eleven time at the other. The pin is also of wire and reflects the terminals by being looped around the shank. Fowler (1960) type C1. Condition: tip of pin missing.
