Description: | Incomplete copper alloy Roman plate brooch with a central blue enamel setting. Approximately just over half survives, with the pin and catchplate missing on the reverse. In shape the brooch has a central hollow domed area, the enamel setting being pointed oval in shape and 4.5mm high. It sits on a circular base 3.5mm high and decorated around the top edge with tiny diagonal grooves. Either side of this one side is broken while the other extends sideways into a (slightly damaged) 18.5x4x2.5mm vertical projection. It is decorated with a deep groove either side of a wavy line, the two long edges being decorated with more tiny diagonal grooves. To the other side from the central setting a backwards ?C projects, its ends bifurcating and damaged. This decoration probably extended to the other side of the central setting. Incomplete length 23mm (estimated original length 34mm), width 19mm, weighs 5.16g. 2nd century in date. | 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
