Description: | This is probably a fragment of a small, copper-alloy Headstud brooch of the 2nd century AD. The cross-section of the bow is a hollow ??D?? shape. The wings are hollow with a broken, pierced lug at the centre to hold a spring mechanism or pin. There is also evidence of a chain-loop at the top of the brooch.
The front of the bow has an annular casting that it may have held enamel, below this is a hole which penetrates the bow. From the headstud, there is an expanding ??V??-shaped groove running down to the hole, and from there a central channel runs to what may have been a second, lower hole at the break point.
The brooch is broken off at the mid-point of the bow and the pin is missing. | Subjects: | Headstud | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Trevaskus, Rod | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
