Broad period: ROMAN
County: Buckinghamshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation

The pin is bent at a right angle around 8mm down from the collar; it then continues for c. 17mm before it folds back on itself in a u-bend; finally the tip bends up again at a 90 degree angle towards the head. The whole surface of the pin is covered with a com…

Fragment of a probable copper alloy Roman plate brooch, inlaid with enamel, dating to the 2nd century AD (100-200AD). The object is oval in plan and slightly convex on the outer face.

The inner circles appear to contain degraded enamel or glass, which is a rusty brown colour. The reverse is plain.  …
