Description: | Roman enamelled copper alloy Headstud bow brooch, of Late 1st to 2nd century AD date. The brooch is incomplete, missing the pin and catch-plate, but has well preserved enamel. The spring mechanism is present and is made on comparatively thick wire around an iron axis bar. The spring is attached by means of separate centre lugs, as is common on Headstud brooches. The top lug to secure the chord is missing. There is no evidence for a chain-loop at the head. The raised circular headstud is topped with red enamel. The bow has a rectangular cross section and tapers to an oval moulded foot. The front surface of the bow is decorated with enamel filled cells consisting of central lozenge shaped cells containing green enamel, flanked on each side with red enamel. | Subjects: | Headstud | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
