Description: | A cast copper alloy Roman headstud brooch. The foot is a plain flat moulded disc with 3 transverse ridges above it. The bos has a flat rectangular section and is decorated with a tall rectangular cell surmounted by 7 small rectangular cells. These would originally have held coloured enamel decoration. Behind the bow the catchplate extends approximately half the length of the bow, but is cut away at the top. At the top of the bow there is an integrally moulded headstud. This is a disc with a small central circular cell for enamel surrounded by an annular cell. The wings flare out from the headstaud to form the head and are decorated with stepped grooves. Behind the head is hollow with a loop to take the pin mechanism, now missing. There is a further lug on top of the head, attached at one end and with a free swan's neck at the other, to hold the pin mechanism.
