Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy plate brooch of Roman date. The oval brooch measures 30mm by 25.2mm by 2.4mm and weighs 7.2g. The front of the brooch is divided into two recessed sections: a central oval and an outer border. There are traces of red enamel in the border. The central recess is empty. The back is flat and undecorated. At one end is the hinge, which contains iron corrosion, presumably all that survives of the pin, and at the other end is the stub of the catchplate. A similar brooch can be seen in Hattatt's 'Visual Catalogue' (2000, p. 364, fig. 223, no. 1207). This example has no provenance.
