Description: | Cast cu-alloy brooch dating from the early Roman period, ie. probably 1st/2nd centuries AD. The brooch is nearly complete, but very thin and fragile. The humped bow was probably a little flatter and the hinged pin is missing. There was no enamelled decoration; it seems as if the only decoration was moulded grooves on the obverse, but they are too obliterated to see any more detail, unfortunately. The foot is a long curved thin plate to receive the pin which is now missing. These brooches are typical for the early Roman period.
