Description: | Cast cu-alloy plate brooch dating from the Early Roman period, i.e. late 2nd century. The brooch is complete except for the tip of the pin and the bottom part of the catch plate. The brooch is round with to concentric mouldings in its inner part, surrouding the central raised boss. The inner concentric circles was decorated with a line of small dots. The centre of the brooch is formed by a small boss which is topped by a small moulded knop. The obverse surface of the brooch was gilt while the reverse was tinned. Though not all of it, most of the gilding and tinning remains. There is some iron corrosion aboud the spring which suggests that the axis bar may have been made from iron. Everything else was made from cast cu-alloy. There are no traces of enamel. | Subjects: | Plate | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Boughton, Dot - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
