Description: | Possible copper alloy plate from a brooch of uncertain type, possibly RomanThe object comprises a fragmentary and distorted circular disc of sheet metal (with a maximum distorted diameter of 34.2mm, a thickness of 0.1mm and a weight of 2.4g). The rear has what appears to be an integral catch-plate adjacent to the edge (with a depth of 7.8mm and a length of 6.2mm). There is the possible suggestion that the plate has broken across a central hole. There is no decoration evident on the surface but there appears to be remnants of tinned or silvered surface on the front of plate. Elsewhere the surface has a pale grey and blue green to dark-green patina.The fragmentary plate has few diagnostic features making any identification tentative, it is also difficult to closely match the thin circular plate to known types of plate brooches.
