Description: | A copper-alloy plate brooch of probable 2nd century date.
The central part of the brooch is circular in plan, domed, has an outer rim and a moulded central pellet. Extending upwards from the top is a wide lug with a rounded top edge marked by a rim. The foot consists of a similar, but damaged, lug. On the reverse, the pin attachment is located on the uppermost lug and consists of two parallel plates with a central pin slot. The damaged catchplate is located on the reverse of the lower lug. The pin is missing.
The brooch is heavily corroded and appears to have a high lead content. It measures 28.6mm long, 19.4mm wide and 7.3mm thick. The weight is 3.2g. | Subjects: | Plate | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
