Description: | Cast copper alloy plate brooch dating to the Roman period, (43-410AD). The object is lozenge shaped in plan. The outer edge is raised and the central plate recessed, probably to contain enamel. In the centre of the object is a circular perforation. The object has a rounded lug at each point. The object is a hinged example. On the reverse is a damaged lug for the hinge and a catchplate which is also damaged. The object is badly corroded and one lug has been bent upwards. It has a mid green patina and is in poor condition. The object can be dated to the second century AD.
