Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete cast copper alloy Roman brooch dating from the first or second century AD. Only the foot of the brooch remains, with a short length of the lower bow. There is a raised ridge or spine running down the bow which narrows and terminates in a raised collar. Below this is a sub-rectangular panel which is decorated with a moulded ring and dot motif. A large catchplate survives on the reverse of the brooch. The class of brooch is difficult to determing - the central ridge is quite unusual, and is sometimes seen on trumpet-style brooches.
