Description: | Cast copper alloy headstud brooch dating to the Roman period. The object has short semi-tubular wings and is a hinged example. The head is raised with a large oval depression where the headstud would have sat. This would possibly have been infilled with enamel. The bow arches outwards and tapers towards the foot which is rounded. The bow is undecorated. There are two circular discs of blue enamel, one above the other, on the front of each wing. The catchplate has broken away. The object has an orange-brown patina however is not magnetic and therefore it is likely that it was lying in iron rich soil or near an iron object which has corroded. It can be dated from 75-200AD.
