Description: | Wings and bow fragment from a headstud brooch. Open backed wings with central axis bar lug in the centre. There is no trace of any iron corrosion in the axis bar hole which would perhaps indicate the use of a copper alloy axis bar. Suspension loop missing. Hinged pin types are generally considered to be later than the spring types. They are thought to have appeared around the middle of the 1st century AD, lasting throughout most of the 2nd century AD.
