Description: | A copper alloy Roman plate brooch dating from the second to third centuries AD. The brooch is oval in plan and has three inner ovoid cells, the central cell being slightly raised above the face of the brooch. The outermost cell is recessed and is likely to have held enamel (now gone), and the innermost cell, also recessed, probably held a paste intaglio, once again now missing. The reverse of the brooch retains only a small part of each of the hinge and catch plates. This type of brooch can be paralleled in Hattatt (2008) p364 no.1207.
