Description: | Gilded or enamelled cast copper alloy domed disc brooch dating from the later Roman period, i.e. c. AD 200-410. The brooch is nearly complete and in good condition. It is circular in shape, with a plain reverse and the spring-mounted fastening mechanism still intact. Only the pin is slightly bent and its pointy end missing. The foot is damaged and part of it missing, too. The obverse is decorated with a moulded decoration: There is a tall central dome with a small moulded knop on top and seven smaller moulded knops in a circle around it. The central dome has curved sides. There is a yellow residue between the seven small knops and it is very likely that it is weather white or yellow enamel. However, it is possible that the brooch was gilded, too.
