Description: | Incomplete copper alloy early plate brooch. The brooch has a small central flat disc with acorn-shaped side attachments from which issue loops curving over the top of the disc. The lugs for a hinged pin and its catchplate are under the side projections. The disc is recessed for enamel, in which there survives patches of green and perhaps dark blue enamel. There is a rivet hole in the centre. The surface of the brooch has been tinned or silvered. The pin is missing.
Similar examples are known and are discussed by Bayley (2004, p154). On the continent they are known from the Rhine-Danube frontier, several having been found in Claudian contexts. | 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: | 43
