Description: | A fragment of a cast copper alloy lozenge shaped plate brooch.
The brooch has a central raised lozenge shaped boss, which has raised sides. This boss would once have held a stone but this has now been lost and the setting remains empty. Traces of a white paste are still evident.
Three concentric lozenge shaped borders run around the boss, lowering in height to the edge of the brooch. Each border is decorated with incised parallel lines.
The reverse is concave. Part of the catchplate remains on the reverse but it is heavily worn.
The breaks are all worn.
The metal is a mid brownish-green colour.
This type of brooch dates from the 2nd century AD.
This brooch is similar to examples in Hattatt, 2000, pp348-9, Fig. 207-8. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
