Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy Roman (2nd century) plate brooch.The plate is lozenge-shaped, a raised border around perimeter creating a cell. This cell is occupied by a quatrefoil containing traces of white enamel infill; dark blue enamel fills the four surrounding fields. The hinge and pin are missing. The catchplate extends downward at the bottom point of the plate and is set at a lower level. On the underside of its triangular lug - the upper surface of which appears to be decorated with a beaded ridge - is the remnant of a right-angled projection. A circular depression marks the centre point of the plate's underside. The brooch measures 21.2mm long, 15.2mm wide and 5.3mm deep. The weight is 1.9g.
