Description: | Copper alloy brooch dating to the Roman period. The object consists of a small hinge case which contains iron corrosion, and a rectangular sectioned bow. The bow is decorated with three panels which are infilled with the remains of enamel. The enamel appears to be green in the outer two panels and red in the central panel. The object has a slight curve in profile and is incomplete. It has a brownish green patina and probably dates to 43-75AD.The object shows some similarities to the Hod Hill group of Roman brooches. The panels can be paralleled in no.141 and the small hinge casing in no. 143, Plate XCVII, Hawkes and Hull, (1947). While the flattish profile can be paralleled with no. 58-59, p323, Hattatt, (2000).
