Description: | Cast copper alloy and enamel Roman umbonate brooch, dating from the 1st- 3rd centuries AD.It is circular in plan with four small extensions, at each point on a compass. The top and bottom extensions are the catchplate and hinge mechanisms. The two side extensions are small rounded knops. The brooch is domed, and hollow on the reverse. The front is decorated with enamelled cells. In the centre is a raised copper alloy boss, surrounded by triangular cells half of which are filled with blue enamel, the other half would have contained another colour which is now missing. There is then another band of enamelled traingular cells, again with every other cell containing blue enamel, the other colour missing. There is an outer border of a raised line, then a groove before the edge of the brooch.
