Description: | An almost complete cast copper alloy Roman plate brooch. The sub-octagonal shaped openwork plate brooch has a four point star in the centre with a oval aperture between each point and a circular cell in the centre, which is empty. Around the edge of the star is a band with triangular cells, some of which still retain traces of blue enamel. Around the edge of the brooch are six small lugs, a fragment of a chain loop at the top and a larger lug at the bottom. On the reverse are two pierced lugs, which retain a fragment of the copper alloy hinge pin. There are no signs of a catchplate, except for a small groove opposite the pin. The surviving length is 36.0mm, the width is 26.2mm and the weight is 7.01g. | Subjects: | Plate | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Staves, Lisa - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
