Description: | An enamelled copper-alloy plate brooch of Roman (probably 2nd century) date.The plate comprises four oval settings of equal size, set around a sub-rectangular central cell. Two opposing cells retain nearly all of their light green enamel insets, each of which surrounds a raised central pellet and is held in place by a circumferential rim. The remaining two cells are largely empty, although tiny traces of possibly red enamel survive within each setting. The colour of the largely missing central setting is uncertain. The now-missing pin would originally have been aligned on the longest axis of the brooch. The pin attachment consists of a single perforated right-angled lug. The catchplate is unperforated and has a rolled top edge. The brooch measures 19.5mm long, 17.3mm wide, 1.7mm thick (plate) and weighs 2.7g.
