Description: | A 2nd Century AD Roman umbonate brooch. The brooch has several triangular cells of alternating blue and black enamel that narrow towards the peak of the conical obverse. On the outside edges of the brooch are seven knops, each with a central mount point for either stones or enamel (none of which survives). A loop (probably a chain loop) survives intact, suggesting this brooch was one of a pair used to hold and fasten a garment such as a cloak. The pin and iron rivet on the reverse survive but part of the catchplate is broken and missing. This brooch is in excellent condition and is identical to Hattatt type 1063.
The umbonate brooch is 48.15mm diameter with a depth of 14.28mm. It weighs 19.43gms. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Byard, Anni - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
