Description: | Copper alloy brooch fragment, rosette type. Upper half with central disc, missing pin; very corroded (and cleaned). The spring cover is a rectangular box shape, open at the back. The upper, arched, bow is triangular in section and may have had more decoration on the front. Above the central disc the bow is rounded and it expands into the junction with the disc, possibly with longitudinal grooves. The disc has concentric grooves and has a straight edge just below the spring cover. Width 19mm, surviving length 37mm. Similar to Camulodunum (Hawkes & Hull 1947) plate xciii, no 79 except that is described as hinged rather than sprung.
