Description: | Roman copper alloy oval disc brooch, 33mm long, 27mm wide and 10mm thick. The object is in fair condition and weighs 10.34grams. The brooch has a wide incised border with a band of punched circles forming the inner border and a band of what may be incised triangles forming the outer. This encloses a raised collar which contains an oval and slightly domed red? glass insert which is now heavily cracked and incomplete. The whole of the border has been gilded but is now worn. The reverse, which appears to be tinned, has the scars of a catch-plate and pin lug aligned centrally across its length.The brooch is similar to eg.173, fig.223, page 364 in Hattatt, R. 'A visual catalogue of Richard Hattatt's ancient brooches'
