A Roman copper alloy plate brooch dating 43-410AD. The brooch is cast in the form of a stylised boat with a curving prow and a representation of oars or an anchor. On the reverse are twin lugs and an axis bar to secure the pin, which is still present, and the catchplate.<\/p>\n
It is a very unusual type but there is a close parallel in Ettlinger's corpus of Roman brooches from Switzerland. The form is similar, however the prow and passengers are different.<\/p>\n
