Description: | Copper alloy Roman Headstud brooch. It is very bent and folded back so that the back of the head touches the catchplate. This was done in antiquity. There is damage to the wings and the pin is missing. It has short wings which are rectangular in plan, decorated with transverse ridges and grooves. There is a copper alloy axis bar for a hinged pin. There is the stub of a chain loop at the head. It has a projecting headstud with a raised roundel with a central dot, recessed for enamel. There are lozenge-shaped and trianglular recesses in a band running longitudinally down the bow. At the base of this are two transverse ridges then a constriction above a semi-circular flaring foot. The bow tapers slightly. The catchplate is damaged. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
