Description: | Copper alloy plate brooch. The brooch is oval and decorated on the front with concentric bands comprising an outer raised band of copper alloy, a band of red enamel (traces only remaining) an inner raised band of copper alloy and a central, oval recess for enalmel (no trace remaining). At the back of the brooch set at opposite ends of the long axis of the oval, are the trace of the catchplate and the remnant of the pin and its attachment point. The attachment point is a simple rounded, pierced lug set longitudinally. The chord and spring of the pin remain. The catchplate is missing but a small scar remains indicating its position. The back of the brooch is undecorated. The brooch is similar in design to 2nd century disc brooches (see Hattatt, 2000, page 344, fig. 203, nos. 1027, 1028, 521) except for its oval shape.
