Roman copper alloy T shaped brooch
Small and in a poor state of preservation. The brooch had a separate spring which is detached. The means of attaching the spring behind the flattish side wings is no longer evident but some form of the Polden Hill mechanism seems likely. The bow has a flattish curve at the head and a straight profile. There is no evidence of decoration.
