Description: | Roman brooch; fragment of cast copper alloy headstud brooch of late 1st or 2nd century date. The remaining fragment is the wings and head only, with the coiled spring for the pin. The lower bow, foot, catchplate and pin are all missing. The fragment is very abraided but can be seen to have had short, squared wings and to have been decorated with moulded details on the sides and top of the head. There is a long, narrow, oval stud at the head. The details of this decoration are too worn to make out.
