Description: | Incomplete early Roman cast copper alloy lozenge shaped plate brooch. The lower half of the brooch is missing. There is a central circular boss containing iron corrosion, which extends outwards on the reverse of the brooch. The boss is surrounded by a plain chanel (which may have held enamel) and a raised ring decorated with small recessed lozenges. There is a worn break across the lower half of the brooch immediately below this decorative area. The two surviving original sides of the brooch are slightly concave and meet at a point at the apex of the brooch forming an elongated semi-circular knop. On the reverse of the knop are two parallel lugs which would have secured a hinged pin. The brooch is mid-green in colour and the surface is pitted.The brooch is 20.80mm long, 16.49mm wide, 1.64mm thick, increasing to 5.43mm thick to include the pin lugs, and weighs 1.61 grams.The brooch is similar to Hattat p161 no 1000.
