Description: | Incomplete copper alloy Roman plate brooch, probably of an equal-arm type and missing one finial and the pin. The pin lugs are also missing. Its incomplete length is 28mm and width 23mm. At the centre is a domed boss with four circumferencial 'steps'. It is damaged at the centre. Projecting at one edge is a large trefoil, set with three 4mm diameter niches in each section. Two at least have the remains of a white enamel. On the two sides not attached to the central boss a tiny projection extends between the niches. Presumably another trefoil extended at the opposite side - the break here is ancient. At the two sides in between the areas mentioned above, tiny circular openwork lugs which are now mostly broken, extend. Their estimated diameter is 6.5-7mm. On the reverse, the catchplate with a damaged curl is at the reverse of the refoil projection. Weighs 6.39g. 2nd century in date. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Hinds, Katie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
