Description: | A fragment of a copper alloy Headstud brooch dating to the Roman period. The fragment consists of the head of the brooch and part of the chain loop. The wings are decorated with vertical incised grooves. On the reverse are the corroded remains of the tubular hinge mechanism which would have held the pin. The breaks to the fragment are fairly worn, with the main break being just before the headstud. This brooch fragment dates between the 1st and 2nd Century. See: Hattatt, p326.
