Description: | Cast copper alloy brooch fragment, length 29mm, width 7mm, thickness 12mm. This is the lower leg of a head stud brooch. Down the front of the leg is a rectangular strip that has a series of cells within, these comprises of diamond cells running down the centre which would have held enamel and at either end, triangular cells which have the remains of a yellow enamel. At the base there is a semicircular foot with a recessed line in the centre and a double collar above. The catch plate is complete on the reverse. The break is old and the surface is pitted because corrosion has removed the original surface. Date 2nd century AD.
