Description: | Cast cu-alloy headstud brooch dating to the Early Roman period. The brooch is almost complete and in very good condition with only the spring and pin missing. Bow, headstud, spring case and loop (for suspension of beads, etc?) are still intact. Bow and head are very sturdy, with a rectangular cross-section and limited amount of decoration: there are two thin grooves on the bow and two more around the headstud as well as vertical grooves (possibly a reel motif?) on the sides of the cross bar (see image).The find was reported via email and was not seen by FLO. Image kindly provided by the finder.
