Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy plate brooch of Roman date. The brooch is circular with eight circular extensions equally spaced around the edge, each one has a depressed surface, which has been infilled with enamel, possibly white and green. The brooch is flat and features two concentric raised rings and a raised rim. The outer ring would have been infilled with enamel but it is now all missing. The inner ring retains some green and red enamel and is further decorated with equally spaced holes, which may have once held stones. The central ring is wide and flat and has a hole in the centre. On the reverse of the brooch, on a horizontal axis are the remains of the lug and catchplate. The lug is a single pierced plate. The catchplate is damaged. The metal is a dark greenish-brown colour and is slightly worn. A similar example can be seen in Hattatt, p.350.
