Description: | Copper alloyBrooch. Fragment of a probable Headstud Brooch. Cast, with short tubular wings retaining stub of a hinged pin, and with a bow tapering towards the stub of a folded catch-plate. The bow is of concavo-convex section, hollowed on the reverse for its upper extent. A rectangular stud, probably cast along with the brooch, occupies the crest of bow; below this are four lozenges, a prominent moulding above where the catch-plate begins on the reverse of the bow, and then a continuation of lozenge decoration; three more lozenges survive on the remaining part of brooch. Though this decoration would be apt to retain enamel, no trace of colorant is discernible. Abraded overall. Suggested date: Early Roman, 75-200.Length: 23.98mm, Width (wings): 14.19mm, Thickness (below stud on bow): 4.24mm, Weight: 5.62gms.
