Description: | Roman headstud brooch made from copper alloy dating to 2nd century. The brooch has short flattened sub-rectangular ended wings, which are decorated with longitudinal ridges. The brooch has a hinged pin mechanism but the pin does not survive. In the centre of the head at the top are the remains of an integrally cast head loop, on earlier headstud brooches, this headloop would have been separate. The bow is quite steeply arched and has a decorative circular stud at the top (directly below the headloop). The bow has a central rib with a groove on either side and tapers towards the foot but is broken off so that the foot and catchplate do not survive. The brooch measures 15.5mm in width, 24mm in length and weighs 4.16g. | 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
