Object Description
A vibrant Roman-British bronze fibula, decorated with enamel. The body has been moulded into the shape of a single-handled jug, featuring a funnel-shaped base that rests on a stepped foot. The neck is wide and flares outwards to a straight rim. Within its centre is a decorative enamel cell, consisting of a deep blue base with bright red circles, arranging in a rosette around a yellow discus. The reverse remains plain apart from the remains of a hinge. The original pin and catch-plate now missing. A very rare example.
Date: Circa 2nd-3rd century AD
