Description: | An incomplete worn copper-aloy Roman bow brooch of head stud type, the headstud is a British brooch type and production starts in the later 1st century and continues into the 2nd century. This example has an incomplete chainloop and is missing its pin and foot due to old breaks, the lower bow break is stained a dark black/brown, which may be burning or due to some sort of soil/corrosive reaction. The wings are decorated with grooves and there is is a semi-circular axis bar casing behind them, with a copper-alloy axis bar within this. the head stud is a projecting circle with a cross motif within it, each angle of the cross is recessed but no trace of enamel can now be seen. Below this there are traces of longitudinal decoration. This example is similar to one in Hattatt (1989, fig 191, no 422). Measuring 20.57mm in length and 11.76mm in width.
