Description: | Fragment of a 2nd century Roman plate brooch (possibly an Umbonate type). The brooch is incomplete but would have been circular in shape with several radiating lobes coming from the edge of the brooch. Only a single lobe survives and part of the circular loop at the top of the brooch. The central panel of the brooch survives with red and blue decorative enamel. The centre of the brooch is circular and has a wheel design with 6 enamelled cells (alternating blue and red). Only five of the cells remain but each one has a small pellet within it. The area which were not enamelled, appear to have been tinned or silvered. On the back of the brooch, below the loop, the hinge pin mechanism can be seen with a small amount of the pin intact.
The fragment weighs 4.34g and measures 23.3mm in length, 21.4mm in width and 13.7mm in thickness. | 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
