Description: | A cast copper alloy lozenge shaped plate brooch, with lugs and enamelled surfaces. This brooch is an elongated lozenge shaped (44.62 x 11.33mm). The brooch appears to be a 2nd century Roman brooch but a later perhaps Victorian date cannot be ruled out. This plate has been decorated on the front surface with a double raised border around the edge of the lozenge. Inside this border is a series of longitudinal lines. This entire surface has been enamelled with a light greyish-blue enamel. The reverse is undecorated. The catchplate survives but it has been broken. There are also the remains of the twin lug. The twin lug and the catchplate have been aligned longitudinally across the reverse of the brooch, along the longest axis. The pin is missing. The metal is quite worn and the enamelled surface is quite corroded.
