Description: | An incomplete copper alloy headstud brooch dating to the 1st - 2nd Century. The brooch head, upper bow and the hinge mechanism all survive. The head is largely undecorated except for vertical indented lines on the sides of the wings. There is a lug on the top of the head. A very prominent headstud can be seen on the top of the bow/head.
The hinge mechanism is tubular, with the axis bar still in place and the end of the pin still in situ. The pin end is flat and pointed, but broken. The lower part of the bow is missing. The beginning of the catchplate can be seen on the reverse. The entire pin is missing. The surface is a dark brownish-green and has a small amount of corrosion. This brooch fragment dates to the 1st - 2nd Century AD (See: Hattatt, p333, fig.192, 420). | Subjects: | Headstud | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
