Description: | A copper alloy Roman headstud brooch, dating to the 2nd century AD. This brooch is incomplete, with only the upper bow and head remaining. Where the bow connects to the head, there is a depression which would have contained the headstud, with a vertical ridge above. There is blue enamel still on the wings in the shape of diamonds; three intact on the right and one enameled on the left. They are arranged as horizontal lozenges in a vertical row of three on each side. Most of the pin is missing, with only the top still attached to the axis bar. The headloop is also missing. It has a light green patina all over and measures 29.5mm x 22.2mm x 14.4mm, weighing 8.23g. There is a similar example to this in Hattatt??s ??A visual guide to Richard Hattatt??s ancient brooches??, p.332, fig.424. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Ward, Stuart | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
