Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy circular plate brooch, with decorated gilded surfaces, much of the surface has been lost. There is a raised rim in the centre of the brooch, this setting probably once held a stone, intaglio or setting. 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 pin is missing. 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, p364, Fig: 223.
