Description: | Copper alloy Roman head stud brooch dating to the 2nd century. The brooch is in good condition and can be paralleled with two similar examples in Hattats Visual Catalogue, Fig. 191, Nos. 33 & 944. The brooch has rectangular stepped wings and an integrally cast large circular head loop. The wings have a tubular pin case on the back and the hinged pin remains intact. At the top of the bow there is a decorative circular stud filled with red enamel and the front of the bow has ten small square cells filled with the remains of coloured enamel. The red enamel (in alternate cells) survives well but the other colour (possibly blue) does not survive. The foot is moulded and the catchplate is complete extending up the back of the bow. The brooch weighs 9.83g and measures 50.9mm in length, 17.24mm in width and 18.61mm in thickness (from the front of the bow to the pin). | 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
