Description: | Cast copper alloy Headstud brooch, dating to the later 2nd century AD. The spring has six coils, and the top lug and stud are both cast integrally with the bow. There is no chain loop, the spring is secured by a straight axis bar. The wings have steeped grooves. The bow is decorated at the top with a single circular stud which would have had enamal inside it, below the sutd is a single row of lonzenges and a triangle pattern. The lonzenges hold a blue glassy enamal, whilst the triangles although deeply discoloured hold red enamaling. The catch plate extends halfway up the bow, and most of it survives, although the pin down not. The foot of the brooch is rounded. The patina is a dark green. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 100
