Description: | Oval plate brooch., From monograph - Grave 17 adult male '1 Romano-Brotish copper alloy plate brooch. Iron pin largely missing. The spring obscured by corrosion but, like others of the type, is mounted on single pierced lug and has an internal chord. The front of the oval plate is divided into three zones. The central one is high-walled and empty. The ridge dividing the outer two zones is higher than the outer margin, now almost completely corroded away, would have been. In the second zone can be seen traces of a circular stamp. It appears to have a central boss surrounded by an annular ridge. In the outer zone the kind of decorative stamp used is vary indistinct, but was either a triangle or a V in shape: it is unlikely to have been part of the equally rare 'W' form. There is very little left of the gilding which once covered the front of the brooch, apart from the central oval, or of the silvered finish on the back. 24x36mm.',
