Description: | Incomplete copper alloy Roman equal-ended plate brooch of the Bridge type, missing one of its equal ends plus pin, and also missing the surl of the catchplate on the surviving equal end.
The 'plate' is rectangular in shape, measuring 23.1x18.3mm. It is decorated with twelve cells, three rows of four, the middle of which are square while the outer triangular, points facing outwards. Each alternate cell retains a dull geren enamel. The other cells are empty and possibly held a different coloured enamel that did not survive so well. Around this rectangular area is a groove, decorated with tiny vertical lines.
Extending from top and bottom of the longer edge of the 'plate' are the equal ends, one of which has snapped off just as the end narrows from the bow. The opposite end narrows to 3.2mm and is decorated to the front with two horizontal ribs. Beyond the second, the end is rounded. The catchplate extends to the rear (missing its curl). The surviving arm is c.18mm in length from the plate.
Measures 36.8mm in length and weighs 6.42g.
