Description: | Incomplete Roman copper alloy enamelled Equal-ended plate brooch, missing its pin (from a hinge mechanism) and lower knobbed projection, which would have held the catchplate (consequently also missing). The central decoration is of a backwards-C and a C, back to back, their curves touching, held by the two projecting terminals, both of which dip downwards and outwards before terminating in a knob (one of which is broken), so the central decoration stands out. The c.90 degree angle created by the projections meeting with the central decoration create two triangles between the tops and bottoms of the Cs. This angle is decorated with incised transverse lines. The triangular and C-shaped areas have trces of a ?red/ ?green enamel. The reverse of the central decoration and surviving terminal is flat. Two pierced lugs hold the remainder of the iron-stained axis bar and remains of pin with stub of shank. Incomplete length 31mm, max width 11mm. Cf Hattatt no.558. 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
