Description: | A cast copper alloy Roman flat disc brooch. The centre of the brooch is now hollow but this may be wear. Originally there was probably an inlaid decorative feature such as a piece of glass or coloured stone. Around this central boss are 2 concentric recessed bands of decoration with separated by raised borders. Each band is decorated with inlaid enamel: the inner band is red enamel surrounding a ring of raised knobs; and the outer band has continuous enamel, now green (but may originally have been more blue). The rear of the brooch has the remains of 2 lugs to hold the pin and spring mechanism and also the remains of the catchplate. | 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: | 50
