Title
Roman skeumorphic plate brooch
Description
English: Roman cast copper alloy enamelled brooch in the form of an eye. The brooch is pointed oval with the front rising in three steps, the lower two have a border of small raised triangles while the upper is sub-oval (eye shaped) and has a copper alloy rim enclosing mid-blue/turquise enamel surrounding a central small black enamel ring containing white enamel. The back has a cental oval concave section with flat ends, on one is the remains of the catch plate and on the other the double pierced lug of the hinge. The rod between the lugs forming the pivot of the hinge appears from the corrosion to be iron although the small remains of the pin suggest it was copper alloy. It is 28.4mm long, 12.3mm wide and 4.2mm thick, 8.4mm including the hinge; it weighs 4.54 grams. Skeumorphic plate brooches in the shape of a wide range of animate and inanimate objects were popular in the 2nd century AD. An eye shape is not paralleled in the main catalogues or on this database but the gereral form with the concave back and stepping is very consistant with other skeumorphic and disc brooches of this period.
