Description: | Roman enamelled disc brooch with peripheral lugs. The circular brooch has six circular knobs radiating out from the outer edge. Each knob has a trace of inlaid green enamel. The central field of the brooch is filled with a blue enamel, surrounded by three beaded concentric rings. Within the central field, there are eight evenly spaced 'eye' rings filled with red enamel, surrounding a central conical boss. The colouring of the enamel may not have been the original colour due to corrosion of the material. The reverse of the brooch has a hinge lug and complete catchplate, however the pin is missing. The brooch has a diameter of 39.1mm and weighs 11.45grams. The brooch is similar to Hattatt (1987) figure 56 no 1050. It dates from the later half of the 2nd century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Hobbs, Richard - British Museum | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
