Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy and tinned Roman tutulus disc brooch with a truncated conical centre. It is missing its spring mechanism, its pin, catchplate and has suffered circumferential losses. The brooch measures 33.6mm in length, 24.4mm wide, 12.9mm thick and weighs 7.71 grams.The interior of the brooch rises to the central boss (giving the brooch a maximum depth of 12.9mm and a thickness, excluding the hinge and catch of 9.5mm) and is decorated near the rim with two concentric incised lines. The central boss appears to be integral and is circular (with a diameter of 7.75mm). The boss comprises a raised outer rim and central pellet. The exterior rim of the brooch is circular with equally spaced nops (4 of the original 6 survive).To the reverse is a double-lug arrangement for the missing spring. Both lugs are damaged.
