Description: | A copper-alloy fragment of a Roman brooch. The form of this piece strongly suggests it is part of a late 1st to late 2nd/early 3rd century headstud brooch.The foot and lower part of the bow survive, the remainder of the brooch having been lost in antiquity. The bow is parallel-sided and of rectangular section. The upper surface bears a cast pattern of cells, the central column of which is a line of blue enamel-filled lozenges; these are flanked by triangular cells, at least one of which contains traces of red enamel. Either side of this panel is a parallel groove. A double transverse line moulding separates the bow and the foot, the latter of which takes the form of a moulded knob. The catchplate is damaged and the brooch is corroded in places. It measures 27.4mm long, 7.3mm wide and weighs 3.7g.
