Description: | A cast copper-alloy Roman headstud brooch. Behind the hollow head and wings was once a spring mechanism and pin which is now missing. However, iron corrosion within the head suggests that the spring was iron. On the top of the head is an incomplete integral cast chain loop with a plain frontal panel. The short rectangular wings are undecorated. The head of the bow has a moulded stud that is incised with nine lines in a circular formation. The plain rectangular section bow terminates with a moulded footknob. The long catchplate is broken at the point where it holds the bow. The length of the catchplate is 37.3mm and the maximum width is 11.6mm. The surviving length of the brooch 57.7mm, the maximum width is 19.7mm and the weight is 16.08g.
