Description: | Roman copper alloy umbonate brooch of 2nd century AD date. The brooch is incomplete, with a little over half surviving. The brooch was near-circular and utilised a hinge with twin lugs placed against the edge of the reverse, and possibly originally with a terminal chain loop . The face has a recessed concentric groove near the edge before the domed central panel containing small triangular cells filled with alternating red and blue enamel. At the top of the dome is a small perforation, which presumably took a central boss. No remnants of lugs are discernible on the surviving edge.
