Description: | A fragment of a cast, copper alloy Headstud brooch dating to the late first to late second century AD. The fragment comprises the head and a portion of the bow. The head of the brooch comprises two wings which are rectangular in plan. These wings are decorated with vertical ribbed and grooved decoration and conceal a cylindrical spring cover. The axial bar and a small portion of the pin are still in situ. The remains of a circular headloop extend from the head. The bow is D sectioned in shape and slightly arched. The upper surface of the bow is decorated with a circular cell, within which is a central circular stud. Below the cell, are a vertical row of three rectangular cells which would originally have been filled with enamel. The bow is broken at this point.
