Description: | A cast, copper-alloy headstud brooch of the early Roman period, dating AD 70 and AD 120.The brooch is incomplete, missing the pin, lower bow, and catchplate. The head has rectangular arms, each of which bears a pair of circular cells set within an oval cell and containing enamel. The circles are filled with yellow enamel and sit within blue enamel. The top of the bow has a raised collar and sunken cone within the collar to take the missing headstud, which was probably a second piece that possibly also contained enamel.The metal is dark brown with intermittent green patches on the head.
