Description: | Central fragment of a small enamelled cast cu-alloy umbonate brooch dating from the early Roman period, i.e. AD100-250. Only the domed circular obverse plate and part of the hinged spring mechanism remain. The dome of the brooch is decorated with a moulded ring and dot in the centre and two concentric rings of triangular cells in a sunburst pattern, all of the cells are filled with blue and red enamel. Below the enamelled cells is a deep recessed border. The outside edge used to have two opposing knops (only one of which remains) which are the mount for the pin and catchplate on the reverse.Umbonate brooches are distinctively Romano-British and are rarely found on the continent. These date to the 2nd century.
