Description: | Cast cu-alloy brooch fragment dating from the early Roman period, i.e. c. AD3-200. Only part of the bow and the head remain. The separately cast headstud is missing and there is a rivet hole and circular recess where it would have been. The remainder of the bow is decorated on the obverse with triangular patches of red enamel; the reverse is plain. The the top of the wings is decorated with red enamel, too: it is set in square fields with small diamond-shaped mouldings in the centre. There is an attachment loop at the top of the head. Its staple is also decorated with enamel (see image). The pin is missing, but the brooch had a hinged construction hidden in a tubular pin house. The axis bar is still intact and visible through the hole for the pin on the reverse of the brooch.
