Description: | Copper alloy plate brooch of Roman date. At each end the object forms a point. Extending from one point is a circular knop, and extending from the opposite end is an elongated pointed knop. The sides between the two pointed ends are damage so that their original shape is unclear. However, the moulded decoration on the upper surface suggests that, rather than forming a lozenge shape, the sides were straight. The upper surface has a plain border, then a raised element. This element follows the outline of the brooch at each end but has straight sides joining the two pointed ends. Within this element is a second raised element, following the shape of the first. In the centre of this element is a recessed area, also following the same outline, which may once have been inlaid. The remains of the double pin bar lug is located on the reverse of the circular knop, and the remains of the catchplate is located on the reverse of the elongated knop. There is a circular concave area in the centre of the reverse of the brooch. Patchy dark green patina. | 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
