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 catchplate has a light green surface patina with some pale concretion. The catchplate measures 33.9mm long, 15.9mm wide and 4.3mm thick. It weighs 4.2 grams.
