Description: | Incomplete and worn cast copper alloy Roman umbonate brooch. Only the central circular domed part of the brooch and a small segment of the outer flange survives. When whole the brooch would have been sub-circular in plan, possibly with side lugs. The front of the brooch carries a design of enamel inlaid cells with a wheel of inwardly pointing triangular red enamel-filled cells surrounding a central small circular cell of red enamel. This central area was then surrounded with an enamel-filled circular groove of uncertain colour. On the reverse of the brooch traces of the hinge for the pin fittings survive. The copper alloy of the brooch has a powdery light green patina. Brooches of this type are typically dated AD 100-250.
