Description: | Roman copper alloy Umbonate plate brooch, enameled, with eight projecting lugs (of which four survive). Probably 2nd Century AD onwards. The brooch is damaged and the pin is missing, but the single lug hinge and the catchplate are present on reverse.The face of the brooch is divided by two concentric raised bands into two bands of enamel, and a dished centre which may have held a glass bead or stone (plate now appears flat in profile). The inner of the two enamel bands has alternating radiating stripes of blue and red enamel, whilst the outer has lost its enamel.The brooch is 33.1mm in diameter including lugs (25.5 excluding) and is 6.7mm thick including hinge and plate (2.1mm excluding).Similar to examples in Hattatt, p350, Fig: 209.
