Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy Roman headstud brooch. The head conceals a tubular casting for a hinged pin mechanism. The pin is missing, but the iron axis bar is visible from each end of the tubular casting. On the top of the head was once an integrally cast chain loop. All that remains of the chain loop is the collar with two transverse ribs on the front. Both the wings are plain except for a vertical groove at the wing tip. At the head of the bow is a raised plain circular stud. The bow is decorated with a panel with eleven plain raised rectangles. Above the plain foot is a moulded collar. The short catchplate behind the bow has a length of 10.1mm and a width of 4.3mm. The surviving length of the brooch is 39.1mm, the width is 16.2mm and the weight is 8.35g. | 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
