Description: | Fragment of a cast copper alloy Roman brooch (43-410 AD). The fragment consists of the catchplate from the reverse of a copper alloy brooch. The catchplate would have held the pin at the base of the brooch. This fragment has a long shaft with a lozenge-shaped openwork projection at the foot that would have held the pin in place. At the upper edge, the lozenge-shape curves away from the shaft, before the outer edge angles it back towards the body of the brooch. The openwork design is two circular holes along the upper edge of the projection, with an openwork trefoil filling the lower triangular space. The catchplate has a light green surface patina with some pale concretion. The catchplate measures 40.4mm long, 14.2mm wide and 4.2mm thick. It weighs 4.24 grams.
