Description: | Roman copper alloy headstud brooch fragment weighing 4.5g, 19.37mm long, 5.76mm thick and 18.51mm wide. The fragment is the T section of a highly decorated brooch, featuring a flatten head stud at the apex of the bow, with a solid raised ridge of decoration moving away from the head studtowards the crossbar of the brooch and a line of sharply pointed lozenge shapes moving out from the stud head in the opposite direction, although only two of these shapes remain on the brooch. The brooch has the remains of a highly decorated and enameled panel on the forward facing front with the more complete panel consisting of a line of cord decoration, moving outward to a solid incised line and two lozenge shapes that are surrounded by the remains of the enamel. The top of this area of the brooch is relatively plain, but does have a line or channel running across the the top in a horizontal direction, broken only by the area where the pin would have attached in the center of the T. The reverse of the brooch fragment is not decorated, but does have a hollowed out area in the center of the brooch and the arms of the brooch where the pin mechanism would have been attached.
