Description: | A copper-alloy hinge-headed enamelled brooch of Roman (1st to 2nd century) date.The head consists of a horizontal cylinder which contains the axis bar and has a central slit for the attachment of the now-missing pin. The top of the bow extends backwards at a shallow angle before curving sharply downwards into the vertical main portion. This latter element increases in width towards the squared-off foot. The upper surface of the bow has three vertical cells, the central one being rectangular, the flanking ones tapering to a point at the top. At the base is an open-ended, horizontal cell. The central and right-hand cells contain traces of a light coloured enamel. On the flat underside of the bow is a closed catchplate, missing its rolled outer side. The brooch measures 28mm long, 10mm wide and 10.1mm deep. The weight is 4.64g.
