Description: | Copper alloy Roman disc brooch dating to the 2nd century. The brooch has a flat surface and plain edges. It is decorated on the front surface with a red enamel six-pointed star at the centre. This is surrounded by a green copper alloy border (this may have had coloured enamel on top but this has clearly worn away). Surrounding the star element, the surface is covered with blue enamel with a thin border around the edege of the brooch where there is no enamel. The brooch has a single pin lug and a small catchplate set on a longitudinal axis; the pin does not survive. The brooch weighs 3.67g and measures 20.75mm in diameter and 6.61mm in thickness. A direct parallel can be seen in Hattatt??s visual catalogue Fig.203, Nos. 518 & 118. | Subjects: | Disc | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Marshall, Anna - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
