Description: | Part of a Roman copper alloy plate brooch, a triangular fragment with only one short length of an original edge, adjacent to the double pin lug (the hinged pin is missing). The stump of the catchplate sits behind the apex of the triangle. Decoration consists of triangular cells, some inlaid with blue glass and others now void but formerly filled with enamel. An aperture just below the apex is triangular at the front and circular at the rear. The object has been cut down, apparently deliberately, from a Chatelaine type brooch such as Hattatt 2000, fig. 210 no. 1083 and Mackreth 2011, plate 109 no. 13208. Whether after modification it remained in use as a brooch or whether it became emplyed as a mount attached through the aperture, remains uncertain. 24.5 x 22mm. 2nd century.
