Description: | Incomplete cast copper Roman plate brooch. The brooch is oval in shape with a raised central cell containing an oval black glass stone which, although now broken, was originally tapered towards the centre into a cone shape. The brooch is gilded and decorated with a plain raised outer border and a rope-like inner border surrounding the foot of the cell holding the stone. Between these two raised borders there is a recessed field carrying simple linear decoration of lines radiating outwards. The reverse of the brooch is plain and has the remains of the hinge and catchplate still upstanding although the pin is missing.Brooches of this type are typically dated to the second and third centuries AD. c.100-300.
