Description: | An example of an early P - shape brooch which was the Rosette prototype. Hattatt (1989; 31) states that these date to 30 B.C. to 30 A.D., and are not native to this country. It is speculated (ibid) that these brooches were brought over from Gaul by the Romans, and that at the time Hattatt's Ancient Brooches and Other Artifacts was published that only 15 of them existed in Britain.The Brooch itself is a one piece construction with a colchester style of spring. The head is 15.43mm wide and 6.03 mm in length. The disc lies near vertical and is thicker around the center giving the impression of a series of plates being laid upon each other. The diameter of the disc is 16.29mm and it is 1.86mm thick at it's center. The bow is only 1.49mm thick, 14.10mm long, 5.12mm wide,plain and undercorated. The foot on the other hand is decorated with a series of for parallel lines running vertically down the length of the foot. The foot is 26.94mm long, 5.82mm wide and 1.25mm thick. The catchplate and the pin are both missing unfortunately.
