Description: | A gilded circular plate brooch of Roman date. The brooch has a pronounced central projecting conical boss with a rounded knop, which sits within a saucer-like depression. The outer frame of the brooch is decorated with twenty-seven punched annulets. The reverse has a white metal coating, probably tin, though with some traces of gilding. The pin and spring are missing but were of iron. The hinge and catchplate survive. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Williams, David W - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
