A Fragment of a Roman copper alloy plate brooch, probably dating to AD 100-250. The brooch was originally oval in plan, the plate divided into three concentric zones by raised borders. The inner zone formed a setting for a glass setting (now lost), the outer zone has been all-but lost through abrasion. The central zone features surviving gilding and is decorated with a repeating pattern of stamped S-shaped punches. A single, incomplete perforated lug projects from the reverse.
Length 10.8mm; Width 17.4mm; Thickness 4.8mm; weight 1.32g.
