Description: | Roman copper alloy developed rosette brooch, 30mm long, 23mm wide and 14mm thick. The brooch is in good condition with a green patina and weighs 10.52grams. The brooch is incomplete and has an oval form, made up of several parts. It consists of an oval plate which has a break in its lower edge. This would have accomodated a rectangular plate and the brooches catchplate. The centre of the plate contains a raised crescentic protrusion which curves around under the brooches raised bow. The bow has a sub rectangular form which terminates in a point where it is attached to the main plate, it has two raised lines on its surface which converge as it reaches a point. It is semi-circular in section and curves from the centre of the brooch to its upper edge where it is attached to the spring cover. This has damaged edges and is semi-circular in section but has no spring, although there is a good patch of iron staining present. Below this there is an oval hollow in the plate which is hidden by the bow.
