Description: | A cast copper alloy plate brooch of probable second century AD date. The incomplete brooch measures 28.1mm by 23.3mm by 9mm and weighs 6g. It comprises a central domed oval with two of the original four sideways projecting circular knops, at 12 o'clock and 9 o'clock. The convex oval is engraved to represent a human face and the two surviving knops have circular recesses which contain blue enamel. On the back of one of the knops is the hinge for the missing pin. Two similar brooches feature in Hattatt's 'Visual Catalogue' (2000, p. 356, fig. 215, nos. 1276A and 1656). These examples are from Hampshire and Thetford, Gloucestershire. | Subjects: | Plate | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Payne, Naomi - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
