Description: | A copper alloy Roman headstud brooch which is 31.4mm long, 13.2mm wide and 19.8mm thick. It has a tubular housing behind the wings for the axis bar and a slot for the hinged pin which is missing. The fixed headloop is broken. The front of the wings are decorated with two vertical bars on each wing and the top of the bow is undecorated until the head stud. This is a circular cell which would have contained enamel, with a solid centre and is integral. The rest of the bow is decorated with a raised central ridge which is flanked by a longitudinal cell running the full length of the bow on each side. The foot is discoidal and has three beaded collars above. Most of the catchplate but not the turnover survives. The brooch has a mid green patina and in bent in the middle. Headstud brooches date from 75 ?? 200 AD and similar examples can be seen in Snape (2003). | Subjects: | headstud | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
