Description: | Cast copper alloy headstud brooch dating from the early Roman period, i.e. c. AD75-175/200. Only the main body, and the tubular housing for the spring or hinge and axis bar remain. The reverse of the brooch, the spring or hinge casing and the catch plate were undecorated but there is enamelled decoration on the obverse side of the bow of the brooch. Towards the head of the bow is the integral circular head stud that was probably decorated with a ring of enamel (it is very worn now). The bow is decorated with a series of wide rectangular cells in a row along the bow, some containing traces of red enamel. The bow is sub-rectangular in section.
