Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy Roman oval disc brooch, of mid 2nd to mid 3rd century date. The brooch is divided into two zones by a raised oval ridge. The internal zone is now empty, but would probably have contained a glass or enamel setting. The outer zone is decorated with an incised hatched design which retains traces of gilding. The reverse of the brooch has the remains of an integrally cast pin lug and a complete catchplate. There is no trace of the pin remaining. The brooch has an even mid green patina and the surface is slightly worn. The brooch is 29.7mm long, 22.54mm wide, has a maximum thickness of 8.63mm and weighs 7.15 grams. | Subjects: | Oval Disc | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McLean, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
