Description: | A fragment of a copper-alloy Rosette or Thistle type brooch of mid 1st century AD date (R. Hattatt; 1982; pp. 98).Approximately half of the short, humped bow remains - it has flat surfaces and is thin and wide. At the bottom, the bow gives way to the plate, which would originally have been sub-circular in plan. The upper surface of the plate has two raised rims, close to the outer edge. At the bottom of the reverse side of the plate is a vertical protrusion, which probably represents part of the catchplate or foot section.The piece measures 22.2mm long, 17.9mm wide and 6.9mm thick. The weight is 3.32g.
