Description: | Copper alloy incomplete enamelled Headstud brooch. The head of the brooch is wide and flattened, decorated with a number of grooves on each wing. The remains of a head loop can be seen at the top. To the reverse is the remains of a pin fitting, but the pin is now missing. The bow juts out almost at a right-angle from the head and then abruptly downwards. It is curved in front, but hollow at the reverse. It is decorated with a plain, raised, circular 'headstud'. Below this the leg extends downwards curving slightly. It is decorated to the front with a number of moulded diamonds, culminating in three raised lines and a thin semi-circular foot. The catch-plate is small and partially missing, curving out from the rear of the leg. Mottled orange enamel can still be seen in places.
Hattatt (2000, p.74) suggests that these date largely to the 2nd century AD.
