Description: | A copper alloy Roman umbonate brooch dating from AD 100 - 250. The edges are damaged, but the brooch has a central circular domed plate which is decorated with a central circular cell. This is surrounded by a ring of fourteen inward pointing triangles contianing discoloured enamel, probably red or blue. Outside this is another ring of fourteen more similar, but larger triangular cells, again containing the remains of red or blue enamel. The edges of the brooch are missing. At one side, a projecting copper alloy lobe hides the catchplate, but the pin is missing, as is the hinge mechanism and the knop hiding it. The brooch has a green patina. It is 25.8mm long, 17.4mm wide and 7.2mm thick. 2.58g. Compare examples on page 350 - 351 of Hattatt's Visual Catalogue.
