Description: | Roman enamelled cast copper alloy circular umbonate plate brooch, incomplete, 2nd century. The hinged pin, which was hinged between two lugs, is broken off, as is the (probable) hoop projecting from the edge at the top of the pin hinge. The circular body of the brooch is decorated with two concentric rings of triangular enamelled cells, around a central dimple. The inner ring has alternating red and light blue cells, while the outer ring appears to have just light blue cells. The edge of the brooch is damaged, particularly on the right hand side (as viewed with the pin hinge at the top). The catchplate on the reverse is damaged, and it would probably have extended onto a projection from the edge (opposite the hinge), now broken off. Dark green patina. Length (damaged) 23.87mm, width (damaged, not diameter) 16.05mm, thickness 6.2mm, weight 2.20g. | Subjects: | umbonate plate Romano-British | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Atherton, Rachel - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
