Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy Roman plate brooch. The brooch is oval in shape with an outer raised rim and a further raised rim in the centre of the brooch. There are traces of white & blue enamel between the outer and inner rims whilst the oval central recess has no traces of enamel and may instead have held a stone. The back is flat and undecorated. At one end is the hinge part of the pin, which contains iron corrosion, being all that survives of the pin, and at the other end is the remnants of the catchplate. Similar brooches can be seen in Hattatt's 'Visual Catalogue', 2000, (eg. p. 364, fig. 223, no. 1207).
Brooches of this type are typically dated from the 1st to 3rd centuries (c.100-300 AD). | Subjects: | Plate | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Burrill, Charlotte - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
