Description: | Copper alloy Roman Headstud brooch dating to the 2nd century AD. The brooch is a two part sprung type with two perforated lugs to hold the spring mechanism and chord. The arms have flattened rectangular terminals and are decorated with a leaf shape design and red enamel. There is a circular stud at the centre of the head. The bow, which measures approximately 27mm in width, has a central raised spine running down to the foot which has a moulding. The catchplate is solid and remains largely intact. The brooch weighs 30.62g and measures 65.5mm in length and 26.4mm in width (across the wings). A similar parallel can be seen in Hattatt's visual catalogue, Fig. 191, No.419, although the pin mechanism is not the same. | Subjects: | Headstud | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
