Description: | Enamelled copper alloy Romano-British umbonate brooch. The brooch is circular, domed and missing its peripheral lugs. There is an incomplete suspension loop at the top. The dome of the brooch is decorated with a moulded pellet in the centre and two rings of triangular cells in a sunburst pattern. The outer cells are filled with blue enamel and the inner with red, and all of the enamelling survives in remarkable condition. The catchplate and copper alloy spring are very worn and incomplete. The pin is missing.
Umbonate brooches distinctively Romano-British and are rarely found on the continent. | Subjects: | Umbonate | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Daubney, Adam - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
