Description: | A copper alloy umbonate brooch. The brooch is circular in shape and conical in section. The inner circular panel has a spherical knob and the rib which marks it out is knurled; the outer panel is divided into nine cells filled with yellow enamel. Around the circumference of the brooch are nine semi-circular knobs. Each of the knobs has a crescent shaped cell which is filled with turquoise enamel.
On the reverse, there are the remains of two lugs, although they are too worn to distinguish either the catchplate or pin lug.
The brooch is Roman and probably dates to the late first or second centuries AD. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Philippa Walton | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
