Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy Roman umbonate brooch. The circular domed brooch has an integral but incomplete chain loop at the top. The loop is attached to two perforated lugs on the reverse, which still retains a copper alloy hinge. The pin is missing. Opposite the chain loop is a peripheral rounded lug. At the back of the lug are the remains of a catchplate. There is an incomplete deep groove surrounding the circular domed centre. There is a lug on the edge of the groove on one side. The outer edge opposite this lug is missing, but is likely to have also had a lug. The domed centre has an enamelled sunburst pattern, which consists of two concentric circles of triangular cells. None of the cells retain the original enamel. The reverse of the domed centre is hollow. The diameter of the domed centre is 21.37mm, the surviving length of the brooch is 31.4mm and the weight is 3.92g.
