Description: | Roman cast copper alloy lozange shaped plate brooch dating to the 2nd century AD. The lozenge plate is 22.3mm long, 17.9mm wide and 3.4mm thick. The front has three concentric lozenges which rise in steps to the centre, the central part is recessed. The back of the plate has a circular recessed centre with a small central recessed spot. From one corner extends a round ended knop with a pin hinge on the back. The hinge has two lugs with the stub of a copper alloy pin held by the rusted remains of an iron bar. The catchplate probably extended below a similar knop on the opposite side, now lost. The scorners of the lozenge to each are slightly broken and worn. It is 26.4mm long, 17.8mm wide, 7.2mm thick and weighs 2.19 grams.
Hattatt (2000) illustrates numerous similar examples e.g. 1096. Most have lobed knops extending from the side points of the lozenge as well as the top and bottom. That was possibly the case on this example with the breaks now being worn and corroded. | Subjects: | Plate Lonzenge shaped | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Burnett, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
