Description: | Copper alloy umbonate plate brooch. The brooch consists of an umbonate circular plate, with the hinge and catchplate projecting from opposing edges, with a small knop projecting from each side edge. A loop projects from the top of the hinge. The front of the brooch is decorated with two concentric rows of triangular cells, each of which is inlaid with dark blue enamel. The copper alloy pin is present and complete, but is bent and although free moving no longer reaches the catchplate. Brooches of this type date to the 2nd century AD. A very close parallel is illustrated in Hattatt 2000, no. 128. | 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: | 100
