Description: | A cast copper alloy lozenge-shaped plate brooch, dating to the Roman period. The brooch is incomplete, having suffered damage around the upper edges of the plate; the brooch has several circular cells arranged around two larger central cells; the lower cells retain some of their blue and red / orange enamelling. The reverse retains the small copper loop for the pin hinge; there is iron corrosion around this area possibly suggesting an iron pin; the catch plate is mostly missing. No direct comparison could be found for this brooch. At first it was thought that it may actually be part of a seal box, although a brooch seems much more likely. Lozenge-shaped plate brooches generally date to the second century AD.
