Description: | A fragment of a cast copper alloy Roman headstud brooch. Behind the rectangular head is a tubular casting for a hinged pin mechanism. The slot in the centre reveals a copper alloy axis bar but the pin is completely missing. On the top of the head is the remains of a rearward claw. The sides of the wings are both decorated with a rectangular panel with two transverse lines at both ends. Inside the panel are two leaves in a V-shape formation. The area around the leaves may have once contained enamel, but is now plain. At the top of the bow is a circular head stud with a circle in the centre, which may have once contained orange enamel. The brooch is truncated just below the head stud as the rectangular-sectioned bow begins to taper. The surviving length is 23.6mm, the width is 21.0mm and the weight is 14.26g. | Subjects: | Headstud | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Staves, Lisa - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
