Description: | Roman enamelled plate brooch. An oval brooch with an enamelled outer concentric oval band and a raised, recessesd central projection. The latter may have held a paste intaglio or other stone. The framing outer band is decorated with retangles of three colours. Four red rectangles are arranged at diagonal opposites at the top and bottom of the oval. The rectangles between the red enal alternate between a faded pale green enamel and a faded clear enamel (it is not clear what the original colours were). The central projection has a raised band around it to create a recess. The back is tinned or silvered and has a small catch plate and single pierced lug for attachment of the missing pin. These are set opposite each other, towards the edges, along the long axis of the oval. See Hattatt, 2000 "A Visual Catalogue of Richard Hattatt's Brooches", page 364, Nos. 1208 and 637. Roman - 2nd to 3rd century.Dimensions: 26.98 mm x 22.51 mm x 10.22 mm Weight: 8.2 g
