Description: | A copper-alloy and enamel plate brooch dating to the mid-second to third century AD. The plate brooch is flat and oval in shape. The upper surface of the plate is divided in to two zones by a reserved metal ridge concentric with the oval outer rim. Remnants of tinning are visible on the reserve metal ribs. In the outer cell are alternating trapezoidal panels of red and turquoise enamel. The inner cell is empty but would originally have contained a decorative element, perhaps an intaglio. On the underside of the brooch, there is a rectangular catchplate and on the same axis a semi-circular lug with circular perforation to hold the axis bar and pin. The brooch has a length of 26mm and a width of 23mm. The brooch has a thickness of 2mm [8mm at lug] and a weight of 6g. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
