Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy headstud brooch of probable second century AD date. The brooch measures 45.9mm by 8.7mm by 4.5mm and weighs 7.58g. The wings and headstud are missing. The brooch has broken just above the point where there is a change in angle of the bow. At this point there is a oval boss in low relief which contains a circular recess on each side and an hourglass-shaped recess in between. Below this, the bow narrows gently with a gradual backwards curve. The front is decorated with moulded latticework. At the base is a forwards-pointing foot, behind which is a curving quadrangular catch-plate. There are several broadly similar brooches in Hattatt's Visual Catalogue, in particular no. 36, which is from Owmby, Lincolnshire (2000, p. 332, fig. 191).
