Description: | A damaged and incomplete copper-alloy umbonate brooch of 2nd century AD date (R. Hattatt, 1987, p. 179).
The brooch has a domed central part the upper surface of which is decorated with three concentric bands of inward-pointing recessed triangles. These would originally have contained enamel, no trace of which remains. At the centre of the decoration is a small circular cell and, around the perimeter, a recessed border. The uppermost third of the central section has been lost to post-depositional damage and this has also removed the pin attachment and the pin itself. A short lug extends from the base of the central section and has a small, closed catchplate on the reverse.
Overall, the object measures 23.7mm high by 16.9mm wide and 6.5mm thick. It weighs 2.41g. | 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
