Copper-alloy plate brooch, circular and originally c. 25 mm in diameter. The plate is now bent and a little is missing. There are extensive traces of a whitish substance, probably decayed enamel, across the front, but no colour or design can be made out; the red colour of the exposed metal beneath is a common copper corrosion product in the presence of enamel. On the reverse is an integrally cast raised strip with a pair of hinge lugs at one end and a curled-over catchplate at the other. Roman, 2nd century AD. 3.45 g.
