Description: | Copper alloy enamelled Roman disc brooch.It is circular in plan but is missing a piece from one edge. It has a central raised boss which stands at 7.85mm high. The upper face is decorated with enamel, the back is plain. The decoration is split into two sections, an inner and outer circle. The inner circle is split into alternating strips of coloured enamel around the centre boss. Only one colour remains, it has corroded to a yellowish-white. There is then a raised band separating the inner and outer circles which is decorated with grooved lines all the way around. The outer circle follows the same pattern as the inner but has three colours rather than two. Red, blue and possibly white.At the bottom (on this image) there is the remains of a small rectangular extension. The pin and its hinge are missing. The catchplate is missing also and is likely it was lost with the section of the brooch which has broken off. The two loops which would have held the axis bar remain.
