Description: | Cast copper alloy umbonate plate brooch length 36mm, width 29mm, thickness 9mm, weight 10.86g. The brooch is circular and domed. The dome of the brooch is decorated with a moulded pellet in the centre and three rings of triangular cells in a sunburst pattern. The outer cells are filled with red enamel, the mid band with dark blue and the inner band with light blue, very little of the enamel remains. The catchplate on the reverse is complete while the pin mount is missing, this had snapped off in antiquity and then repaired. The repair consists of a hole which had been drilled through the edge of the brooch, a pin with a perforated tag terminal has then been inserted into the hole and bent back on itself to hold it in place. The pin is missing. Umbonate brooches distinctively Romano-British and are rarely found on the continent. 2nd century.
