Roman copper alloy disc brooch
Umbonate disc brooch which probably had eight disc-shaped lugs around the circumference. The central boss is inlaid at the centre with ten triangular cells of enamel, now with a red appearance; with twelve triangular cells in an outer ring, which appear to be of blue enamel. There are traces of tinning on the flat outer flange, which is now badly damaged. The hinged pin is lost.
