Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy headstud brooch, dating to the late 1st to early 2nd century AD. The wings are rectangular in pland and in cross-section, decorated with vertical grooves. Behind the wings is a cylindrical case containing an axis bar for a hinged pin. The pin is missing. There is an incomplete suspension loop at the top. The brooch is comma shaped in profile and the bow is rectangular in cross-section. At the top of the bow is a raised moulded headstud and beneath this are two rows of inward pointing triangular cells. The foot is reeled. It is not clear whether the undeside of the foot is decorated. The enamel colour of the cells was perhaps blue, however the brooch appears to have been recently covered in some kind of oil which obscures the decoration and colours.
