Description: | A cast, copper alloy Roman umbonate brooch, dating to between 100 - 250AD. The brooch is circular in shape with rounded protrusions at the four cardinal points. The front of the brooch is decorated with a seven pointed star in relief with a back ground of red enamel and a circular cell and surrounded ring in the centre. The circular ring cell round the centre is empty, as is the circular cell at the centre. There is a groove round the edge of the brooch. One knop, the one by the hinge of the pin, is pierced to make a loop. The reverse of the brooch is hollow. The metal is dark green. There is a double pin lug hidden behind the pierced knop, and a copper alloy hinged pin. The catchplate is behind the opposite knop.
