Description: | A cast copper alloy circular plate brooch, with decorated enamelled/silvered surfaces. The surface is decorated but much of the surface has been lost. So no real details survives. The reverse is undecorated. The catchplate survives but it has been broken. There are also the remains of the twin lug. The twin lug and the catchplate have been aligned longitudinally across the reverse of the brooch, along the longest axis. The remains of a wire pin can be seen still in situ with an axis bar through the lugs. The metal is quite worn and the surfaces are quite corroded. The metal has a light greyish-green colour. This type of brooch dates from the 2nd century AD. This brooch is similar to examples in Hattatt, 2000, p350, Fig: 209.
