Description: | An incomplete and corroded copper-alloy Disc brooch of 2nd century date (see R. Hattatt; 2000; pp. 344).
The current form suggests that the brooch would originally have been circular in plan. The upper surface has a slightly recessed central cell surrounded by two concentric cells. Both of the outer cells contain traces of enamel, most notably the outer one, which has a light blue setting flanked on either side by a darker blue or black one. The hinge and catchplate are located at opposite ends of the reverse. The hinge comprises two parallel perforated lugs (one damaged), joined at the back by a ridge. The axis bar and pin are missing. The catchplate is solid and is missing its rolled top edge.
The brooch measures 31.2mm in diameter, 4.9mm thick and weighs 5.72g. | Subjects: | Disc | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
