Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy Roman headstud brooch. The head conceals a tubular casting with a hinged pin mechanism and a slot in the centre for a complete cast copper alloy pin. On top of the head is the remains of an integral copper alloy chain loop and both the rectangular wings are decorated with three vertical grooves. At the top of the incomplete bow is a circular stud cut into quarters. The rest of the bow is decorated with two enamelled channels on either side of a plain central rib. Although this decoration is now quite worn, traces of yellow enamel still survive. Both the foot and catchplate are missing. The surviving length is 34.1mm, the width is 16.1mm and the weight is 5.55g.
