Description: | A Roman cast copper alloy enamelled chatelaine brooch; the bar, which which was supported by the two lower pierced projections, and the hanging cosmetic implements are missing. The brooch is in very good condition and retains a copper alloy pin on the back. The pin is hinged from an attachment bar on the lower part of the brooch, the catchplate being on the apex. Most of the yellow enamel survives although the other colours are now unclear. The brooch is heel-shaped with five rounded projections, the uppermost being the largest with a four-lobe flower. There is a large central boss and projecting nipple. Above the boss is an arc of six pointed lobes with a pellet in each outer field. The two lower tiers are filled with bands of alternating triangles.
