Ave!
Brooch, Knee-type, Triangular-headed, ca. 2nd Cent. AD
Copper alloy, 32mm/17.7gm!
Con/ Missing spring and pin, otherwise, As Cast. Exquisite glossy green patina; cleaned, not waxed.
Ref/ Hattatt 471 var. (sort of)
Seller's Note/ This is a rather curious brooch and not listed in Hattatt as such. Not only is it triangular-headed, but it is also triangular-footed, as well. Also, the foot is flat and, without any added adornment feature, it stands upright all on its own. Very cool!
