Description: | A fragment of a cast copper alloy Roman headstud brooch. The fragment consists of part of the bow. The foot and catchplate have broken off; the break is old. The bow has a square section (4.9mm x 4.9mm) at the top, thinning to rectangular (4.9mm wide by 2.6mm thick) at the bottom. It is decorated with 2 pronounced parallel grooves starting at the bottom and running for 2/3 of the surviving length. It is above this point that the cross section becomes square. The front panel above the 2 long grooves is decorated with 4 transverse grooves (ie at right angles to the 2 below). Above them are the remains of a perforation 2-3mm wide to take a separate headstud; this headstud is missing. The top of the bow and the head and pin, have broken off across the weak point of the headstud perforation. The break is old. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
