Description: | Roman Brooch: Incomplete cast copper alloy disc brooch. The brooch has suffered considerable circumferential loss and may therefore have been circular or sub oval in shape originally. The front of the brooch is decorated with a series of concentric raised cells for enamel in a 'starburst' design consisting of a 10 pronged red enamel star with a pellet in each angle. The star has a ring of enamel around the outside of the star and also in the centre of the star although it is not possible to discern what colour enamel was originally in these cells. The remains of the hinged pin fitting and catchplate survive on the reverse of the the brooch.Brooches of this type are dated c.100-200.
