Description: | Roman copper alloy headstud brooch. The object is 41.6mm long, 16mm wide, 22mm thick and weighs 9.53grms.
Hattatt type 36 (fig 191).
The brooch has a pin bar lug (double lug) with a hinged mechanism. the pin survives intact, though slightly bent to one side.
The object has a bow that tapers down to the foot, then flares out to a small, flat bottomed cone. At the head, it has a raised ring shaped head stud, surounding a circular stud. Further decoration consists of a bordered column of diamonds, the wings are stepped, and narrow as they progress. There is a loop on the top of the head of the brooch. A blade-like protrusion at the foot of the brooch forms the catchplate.
The brooch is in fair condition, but has suffered some damage, as the bow curves further than it should. It has a green patina. | Subjects: | headstud | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Johns, Phillip | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
