An incomplete copper alloy Roman chatelaine plate brooch. A small area of the upper half of the plate including projecting terminal and catchplate survive intact, the remainder missing due to old breaks. The small fragment of the plate that survives is flat and its form suggests it was originally curved in shape. Due to the nature of the break and the preservation of the object it is uncertain precisely how this part of the brooch may have been decorated, although there are perhaps hints of circular and crescent shaped recessed fields, possibly for enamelling. Extending from the centre…
