Description: | An incomplete Roman 2nd century plate brooch of umbonate and conical type with enamelling. A fragment of the side of this brooch and its top loop, catchplate and pin are missing due to old breaks. It is octangonal in shape with a small knop projecting from each edge. The front face has a flat outer part with arched cells, which would have held enamel originally. In the centre is a cone with four arched cells, representing petals, around a central projecting rounded knob.
On the back face this central cone is hollow. There are two opposing pin lugs on the back face below the incomplete top loop, with a copper-alloy horizontal bar between them with the upper fragment of a copper-alloy pin attached to this. The catch plate is a vertical scar due to wear and on the back face of a projecting oval lobe which has a ring and dot motif in its centre on the front face.
This brooch measures 35.71mm by 28.89mm in size. It is similar to Hattat no 1064 (Hattatt 1989, 350, no 1064). | Subjects: | conical umbonate | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Minter, Faye - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
