Title
ESS-F85D98 Roman plate brooch
Description
English: Roman (2nd century AD) cast copper alloy plate brooch. The brooch consists of a small flat rectangular plate (21.1mm by 14.17mm) with two rounded knops projecting from each long edge. The pin and hinge are missing. The front of the plate is decorated with four lozenges, each punched with a hole in the centre. Eight triangular cells created by the four lozenges do not contain any enamel. The reverse is plain. There is no catchplate but the reverse side of one of the knops has two damaged lugs for the missing hinged pin. The weight of the brooch is 4.14g. The colour of the brooch is light brown. No exact parallel could be found, however similar examples can be seen in Hattatt visual catalogue page 352 figure 211.
