Description: | An incomplete Roman umbonate brooch, dating circa AD 75-150. The brooch is made of copper-alloy and is inset with enamel. The body is circular in plan, domed, and decorated with a sunburst pattern. The pattern comprises an outer band of inward pointing triangular cells, each filled with blue enamel. An inner band of inward pointing triangles also contain blue enamel. In the centre is a recessed circular cell, with a band surrounding it. No enamel survives. A deep channel would have run around the perimeter of the brooch, but only small sections survive. A small extension to the perimeter is seen, and on the reverse of this is a catchplate. The surface of the metal has been silvered or tinned.
