Description: | Roman headstud brooch, made from copper alloy. The brooch has short tubular wings with incised vertical lines decorating each. There is a v-shaped slot where the pin would have been hinged but it does not survive. Directly below the groove, at the top of the bow, there is a circular stud with a central boss. The bow is narrow and circular in section and tapers to a moulded foot. On the reverse, a small portion of the catchplate survives. The brooch is very misshaped and has been pressed so that the whole object lies flat. About halfway down the brooch, the bow twists and is bent at roughly a 45 degree angle, it then bends back slightly at the foot, creating a gentle ?s? shape. The brooch looks to have been deliberately bent in this manner.
The object weighs 6.88g and measures 48mm in length, 18mm in width and 6mm in thickness. | 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
