Description: | Cast copper alloy disc brooch from the Roman period.
The disc is divided into six equal segments by lines extending from the centre. There are twelve peripheral knobs, one at the end of each of the dividing lines and one halfway between each of these.The knobs are worn, some almost entirely.
Each segment is enamelled with a circular area left plain. Two opposing segments have been decorated with a pale yellow/white enamel, whilst the remaining four are a dark blue.
On the reverse the spring is extant, along with part of the pin. The catchplate has broken, and only a stub remains. | Subjects: | Disc | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McNestrie, Beth - Museum of Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
