Description: | A fragment of a copper-alloy Disc brooch of 2nd century date (see R. Hattatt; 2000; pp. 345).The brooch would originally have been circular with a series of peripheral lugs, only one of which survives intact. At the centre of the upper surface is a circular cell, defined by a raised rim. A series of semi-circular ridges around the outer edge (traces of four remain) would have created a star-like pattern. At the 'point' of one of the star's arms, the intact semi-circular lug protrudes from the outer edge of the plate. Traces of a second lug are visible at the adjacent star's point. The outer edge of the plate is marked by a raised rim and the cells contain no trace of enamel or other infill. On the reverse, located close to the edge, is a solid catchplate with a rolled top edge.The object measures 27.1mm in diameter, 4.5mm thick and weighs 3.05g.
