Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy Roman headstud brooch. Behind the sub-rectangular wings is a hinged pin mechanism. Although the brooch is quite worn, iron corrosion around the mechanism may suggest that the axis bar was iron. The pin is missing. On top of the head is an integral but incomplete cast copper-alloy chain loop. The wings are decorated with at least one rectangular enamel cell on each wing. Both the remaining cells contain traces of red enamel. At the head of the bow is a large circular stud d made up of two concentric circles. The outer circle also contains traces of red enamel and the inner circle is empty. The bow is broken just below the headstud. The foot and catchplate are missing. The surviving length is 22.5mm, the width is 30.2mm and the weight is 12.16g.
