BROOCH 90099

Description: Incomplete copper alloy Roman T-shape brooch, of the Dorset type. It is missing its loop, one wing, lower bow, pin and catchplate. The wings are tubular though damaged with an incomplete wingspan of 15mm (estimated original c.18mm). The loop is missing but an upward projection survives comparable with that on Hattatt no.922, which is also missing its loop. The bow is flat and extends at an angle before dropping, where it is slightly bent with two cells, each decorated with rocker arm, occupying the central area. The break, which is ancient, runs across this area. 21mm in length, weighs 1.64g. Cf Hattatt nos.401 & 924. 1st/ 2nd century.
