Description: | An incomplete Roman brooch; cast copper alloy plate brooch with enamel decoration, dating to the 2nd or 3rd century AD. The brooch is an oval plate with a raised border around the edge and a second, concentric, raised border around the centre. Between the two borders it is decorated with enamel. The enamel is blue with four narrow white bands - at the top, at the bottom and at either side. The central oval cell is currently not decorated, although it may originally have been a setting for an intaglio or stone. The reverse of the plate is undecorated. The clasp for the hinged pin is still present, as is the stub of the catchplate. The pin and the rest of the catchplate are now missing.
