Description: | Copper alloy disc brooch of Roman date. The brooch is circular and has moulded decoration on the upper surface in the form of a slightly raised border and three raised concentric circular ridges (D. 35.32mm. Th. 5.05mm (11.66mm including pin bar lug). The middle of the three ridges is considerably higher than the first. Within this ridge the brooch is recessed and the third, innermost ridge is within this recessed area. There appears to be a series of small raised ??X??s often separated by a vertical raised line on the upper surface in the two outermost recessed areas, between the border and first two ridges. There are traces of red enamel within the recesses between the ridges. The reverse is flat and the remains of the catchplate are located on one side. Opposite the catchplate is a single pierced pin bar lug with the pin bar and spring attached intact. The pin is missing. | Subjects: | Disc | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Puls, Jodi - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
