Description: | A copper alloy Roman incomplete enamelled plate brooch. The brooch is broken across the rectangular, slightly curved plate, the upper part, including the pin and pin lugs, missing. The decoration consists of a central transverse panel of five square cells filled alternately with orange and blue enamel, with a small rounded knop projecting from either side. The lower part of the plate is divided into interlocking triangular cells, the upper ones filled with blue enamel, the lower ones decayed but perhaps white. There is a transverse groove along the lower edge of the plate which projects beyond the edge on either side as a small pointed knop. The footplate, which has the complete rectangular catch-plate on the reverse, is triangular, with a single triangular blue enamelled cell, terminating in a large globular knop. The brooch measures 29mm x 22mm. The form is similar to a composite example in Hattatt (2000, 355, fig.214, no. 1604). This example dates from the 2nd century AD.
