Description: | A cast copper-alloy headstud brooch of the early Roman period, c. 69-200.The brooch is incomplete and very corroded, with only the head and upper bow remaining. The head had forward-facing, flat arms that merged into the bow, which had a central ridge down its length. A large hollow indicates the position of the separately attached headstud, now missing. There are small traces of blue and red enamel at the sides of the upper bow and on the arms, though no pattern can be discerned. The missing headstud was probably also enamelled. The reverse of the head has broken, revealing the horizontal channel for the axel and vertical notch for the missing hinge pin.
