Description: | A fragment of a Roman copper-alloy chatelaine brooch. Part of one side of the brooch survives, including one lug to take the missing chatelaine bar. Part of the edge with one side lug is bent back at right angles, apparently torn away from the incomplete plate. The plate is decorated with two bands; the lower contains two triangles and the upper two semi-circles. These decorative cells contain traces of a deposit which may be yellow enamel. The brooch fragment measures 17.09mm in length, 21.6mm in width and weighs 2.3g. Hattatt illustrates examples of these brooches and suggests a second century date.(Hattatt 1989, nos.603, 1083)
Another example has been found in Gedding, Suffolk and recorded by the PAS (SF-9673D3). | Subjects: | Chatelaine | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Carr, Jane - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
