Description: | Incomplete copper-alloy headstud brooch. Short, rectangular-sectioned wings with a broad groove at each end and with cylindrical pin case, which holds the copper-alloy axis bar holding the incomplete hinged pin. On the top of the head there is an integral, robust semi-circular moulding with a copper-alloy wire behind it which serves no function and appears to be in imitation of Colchester derivative brooches of the double lug type. Below this 'crest' there is a circular perforation which would have held a setting, perhaps of glass. The heavily arched bow is rectangular in section and tapers and becomes oval in section at the lower bow. The foot is missing. The catchplate is incomplete and extends to the upper bow just below the setting. Hattatt, p. 332, 940.
