Description: | A cast copper alloy lozenge shaped plate brooch, with lugs on the corners of the long axis.
The brooch has been decorated on the front surface with three concentric lozenge shapes. It is possible that the different fields that would have been created by these lines were enamelled, but the surface is so heavily corroded that this detail can no longer be seen.
The reverse is undecorated but there is a small raised circle behind the centre of the lozenge. The catchplate just about survives but it has been broken. There is also a twin lug with a fragment of the pin still in situ. The twin lug and the catchplate have been aligned longitudinally across the reverse of the brooch, along the longest axis.
The metal is very worn and very corroded. The metal has a dark brownish-green colour. This type of brooch dates from the 2nd century AD. This brooch is similar to examples in Hattatt, 2000, pp348-9, Fig. 207-8. | 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
