Description: | Copper alloy Headstud brooch, dating to 75-200 AD. The wings are cylindrical and hold the hinged pin. The headstud is a raised rosette with traces of red enamel in the the fluting at the sides. The stud is held in place with a pin, the two prongs of which may be seen protruding from the reverse of the object, and the head of which shows as a circular boss in the headstud. On either side of the crossbar are attached knurled bars, one of which has been turned so that it is perpendicular to the crossbar. These bars also show traces of red enamel. They have been attached with rivets into the tubular crossbar and can be seen through the corrosion. The bow has rectangular panels of alternating blue and red enamel which become gradually smaller as they draw near to the foot. The foot has ridges ending with a lip; in the centre of the bottom of the foot is a narrow band of red enamel surrounding a blue glass boss. The catchplate is intact on the reverse. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
