Description: | A cast copper alloy Roman disc brooch with peripheral lugs and a central boss. The brooch has an outer decorative panel of millefiori in small boxes of red, white and blue. These small boxes may have been juxtaposed with small panels of enamel but these no longer survive. The brooch would have had eight peripheral lugs originally but only 4 of these now survive. Two of the lugs on the reverse form the catchplate and opposite the pin hinge. The brooch has a hollow reverse and the pin is missing. This style of brooch dates from the 2nd century AD.
