Description: | A cast copper-alloy 'fly-shaped' stud of probable Roman date.The stud appears complete, and broadly dated to the Roman period based on its similarity in shape and style to Roman 'fly' brooches. The stud consists of a flat, heart-shaped plate with a collared knob at its base that is D-shaped in section. Three moulded, narrowed channels run parallel from the top of the knop to the V-shape between the lobes of the heart. On the reverse, a T-shaped shank has been cast integral with the fitting.The stud or fitting is probably of 2nd century date, but could be earlier or later.
