Description: | A Roman copper-alloy repousse disc brooch dating to the late first century AD. The brooch comprises a flat circular plate, the surface of which is covered with a black substance. There are impressions of decoration imprinted on the surface of the black substance. These include a circumferential beaded rim and a central triskele motif. It is likely that the black substance acted as an adhesive for a thin white-metal repousse plate. On the underside of the plate are two semi-circular perforated lugs holding a hinged pin. The catchplate is rectangular in shape. The brooch has a diameter of 30mm and a weight of 10g. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
