Description: | A cast copper-alloy umbonate brooch of the 2nd century.The brooch is complete, with a gentle dome surrounded by a thickened base, with a knop every 90 degrees. The dome is decorated with a circular cell at the peak, surrounded by elongated triangular cells, which are circumscribed by a ring of broader triangular cells. Most of the cells retain enamel, but discolouration makes the colour uncertain, but possibly blue and white.The hinge pin is held in place by two lugs and an axel, with the pointed end resting in a hooked catchplate.
