There is no top loop, and the reverse has the remains of a pair of pierced lugs but the pin and catch plate are missing.The brooch has a central dome with small knob in the middle of a cinquefoil, each rounded cell of which contains yellow enamel. This central device is surrounded by a groove, and a border of thirteen irregular-sized semi-circles, some of which still have traces of yellow enamel. It is 36.03mm wide and weighs 10.74g. It is a 2nd century type, for which parallels may be seen in Hattatt 1989, on p.350. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
