Description: | A Roman plate brooch of circular form but now much damaged. Very little of the original rim edge survives. In the centre is a circular setting of marvered glass consisting of a cluster of rods of yellow, red, green and dark red. The glass, which sits in a raised setting c34mm across, was probably formerly domed but is now heavily shattered, possibly by frost action. The glass setting is bordered by a circle of punched annulets and outside this is a double circle of punched S shapes separated by a raised circular ridge.
On the reverse, which is plain, are stubs of the hinge attachment and catchplate. | Subjects: | Plate | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Williams, David W - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
