Description: | A cast copper alloy Roman brooch; a headstud brooch dating from 75 - 175 AD. The brooch has rectangular wings decorated with a vertical row of three lozenge shaped cells of blue enamel on each wing. There is a ridge on the head; a pseudo chord hook. The headstud is missing, but it was a separate rivet. There is a concave setting for it with a rivet hole going right through the bow. There are traces of more blue enamel on the bow, but it is very worn and the design is not clear. The foot is missing. On the reverse of the head is a slot for a hinged pin, and a broken tube to hold the axis bar. Both are missing. The top of the catchplate survives, but not the base. The brooch has a light green patina.
