Description: | A cast copper alloy lozenge shaped plate brooch, with lugs on the corners of the long axis (only one survives).
The brooch has been decorated on the front surface with three concentric lozenge shapes. A stone may once have been set inside the central lozenge, but the setting is now empty.
The reverse is undecorated but there is a large raised circle behind the centre of the lozenge. The catchplate just about survives but it has been broken. There is also a twin lug 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 much worn and very corroded. The metal has a dark greyish-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
