Description: | Copper alloy disc brooch with central setting, Hattatt's 'gilded glass centre boss' type. Missing spring, pin, pin lug and setting; very corroded (and cleaned). No trace survives of the spring lug, but a worn hole just the catchplate line contains corroded iron which seems to wrap around the back, suggesting a replacement pin system. The central setting was enclosed by a 2mm high rim. Two broad concave rings were separated by narrow ribs; little trace survives of the typical stamped decoration in these, but there are a continuous row of small (1mm) ring stamps in the outer band and traces of ?small triangular stamps in the inner band. There is no trace of the original silvering and gilding. Diameter 32mm. Type as Hattatt no 640, a later Roman British product.
