Description: | A complete cast copper alloy umbonate brooch dating to the 1st century AD (Bayley & Butcher; 2004, p173). The central plate is convex and circular with eight circular lugs arranged around the outer edge. Seven of these lugs are decorated with a ring-and-dot motif. The upper lug is damaged but may have had a hole at its centre to allow for a chain to be fixed through it. The concave central circular plate is decorated with two concentric circles of triangular cells around a central circular indent. Traces of blue enamel remains in some cells. The hinged pin and catchplate are present on the concave back. The pin and several of the lugs are bent due to post-depositional damage. A similar brooch can be seen at BUC-EBC758.
