Description: | Roman copper alloy, enamelled, plate brooch, missing the pin, c. 2nd century AD.
The brooch measures 28mm in length and is 14mm wide, weighing 2.7g. The brooch is an equal-ended type with a circular knob at either end. The body of the brooch is formed by two round-edged triangular shapes which meet in the middle, similar to an 'I' shape. The centre of this is filled with orange enamel and 7 dots again forming the 'I'shape. The dot at the centre of this is filled with black enamel and one of the dots directly above it is filled with a white/pale green coloured enamel. Around this is a red swirl in the orange enamel. The other dots have lost their settings.
The reverse of the brooch is plain, with the hinge and part of the catchplate present but not the pin. | Subjects: | Equal ended plate | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cannings, Alice - Salisbury and South Wiltshire Museum | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
