Description: | Incomplete copper alloy Roman Umbonate type brooch with triangular enamelled cells (only one of which has enamel surviving), missing its pin and all but one of its circumference-lugs, one of which would have held the catchplate (which is also therefore missing). The remaining lug extends upwards, behind which lies the hinge mechanism complete with corroded axis bar. The circular part of the brooch is filled with an outer row triangular cells, one of which is filled with a drak red enamel, which surrounds another row of smaller and more elongated traingular cells. At the centre is a tiny 1mm diameter circular cell. The circular part of the brooch is 18mm in diameter, and the brooch's incomplete length with the hinge mechanism lug is 21.5mm. Cf Hattatt no.128 for a very similar example, and having a protruding knob at its centre. 2nd century 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 | Temporal: | 101
