Description: | Copper alloy Roman oval plate brooch. Central oval cell and a band between this and the outer edge, which were both probably inlaid with enamel. None of the enamel now survives apart from a possible trace in the outer band. There is a perforated lug to mount the missing sprung pin. Traces of iron corrosion around the lug are presumably the remains of the iron axis bar. The catchplate is incomplete.
Similar oval plate brooches are illustrated in Hattatt's Visual Catalogue (2000),nos. 636 and 637 fig. 223. | 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 | Temporal: | 150
