Description: | A copper alloy Roman headstud brooch dating from 75 - 200 AD. The foot of the brooch is missing. The head has a vertical ridge (a pseudo forward hook) with a groove on each side. The integral stud is worn but has a ring of blue enamel surviving. The bow is D shaped in section with the catchplate running up the full length of the back. The area behind the stud is hollow. The wings are decorated with an S shaped swirl of blue enamel, with yellow in the loop at each end and trances of red in the background. The wings were tubular but are now damaged. The axis bar and pin are missing. The whole brooch is badly worn and corroded to a pale green colour.
