Description: | A worn, incomplete Roman (AD 100-200) copper alloy enamelled umbonate plate brooch, missing part of the edge, the shank of the pin and the catchplate. It measures 30.5x17.4x12.6mm and weighs 3.4g.The brooch has a central dome (concave to the reverse), the original edges of which have been worn away and damaged in two places. It is likely the edge originally had protrusions of some kind, although it is impossible now to tell. The dome is decorated with a worn ring-and-dot projection at the centre and surrounded by a sunburst design of fourteen radiating elongated triangles. Eleven of these still contain red enamel. Surrounding these are fourteen rather squatter triangles, three of which are incomplete at the damaged edge, but all contain blue enamel.Projecting at opposing sides of the central dome are a knob with possible mouldings to either side (behind the catchplate) and a slightly larger knob above a 8.6mm wide horizontal rib (behind the head of the pin).To the reverse is a worn double-lug and head of the pin, and worn catchplate projection.
