Description: | An enamelled copper-alloy Roman Knee brooch. The brooch has semi-cylindrical wings in cross-section with fully-rounded and pierced end-caps. There is a copper-alloy axis bar secured by the caps, which in turn supports a copper-alloy spring with internal chord. There is a small suspension loop above. The bow arches from the base of the wing covers. The bow has a large square boss in the centre. This boss is divided into quarters by two lines of reserve metal. The left and right quarters are filled with red enamel; the upper and lower quarters are filled with blue enamel. The foot is triangular in cross-section and slightly concave in profile. The catchplate is intact.
