Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy Roman repouss?? disc brooch. The front of the flat circular plate has only a fragment of the original applied tinned or silvered surface surviving. Some of the decoration can still be seen and consists of a border of short raised lines. On the edge of the brooch is the remains of a small chain loop. The reverse of the plate has two pierced lugs and a catchplate for a hinged pin mechanism, though the pin is missing. Iron corrosion on the back of the brooch suggests that the pin was once made of iron. The diameter is 26.8mm, the thickness of the plate is 2.5mm and the weight is 9.42g. | Subjects: | Disc | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Staves, Lisa - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
