Description: | Roman copper alloy headstud brooch, 33mm long, 21mm wide and 22mm deep. The brooch is in fair condition being very worn in places and having some ironstaining or rust? It has a brown patina and weighs 12.33grams.
The brooch has short, slightly curved wings which are worn around the edges and are decorated with three incised cup and ring style circles. There is no trace of a spring. The bow emerges from the wings and is quite deep, at least 11mm. It turns 90o and becomes much narrower, it looks as though it may have tapered to a point but the end is now missing. The front of the bow, which is rectangular in section is decorated at the top with further incised circles which are joined by faint incised lines. Below this on the angle is a protruding 'stud' 6mm in diameter, this has a further protruding circle which is slightly smaller in its centre. The lower end of the brooch is decorated with three visible rectangular cells containing red and blue enamel. | Subjects: | headstud | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Scott, Wendy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
