Description: | Copper alloy with enamelBrooch. Cast Headstud Brooch, comprising wings with vertical grooves representing a spring (which this brooch never had) masking a cylinder for an axis bar and the stub of a hinged pin; the stub of a top loop surmounts the brooch head while the sides of the wings are extended downwards to join the back of the bow, enclosing a cavity below the axis bar. The bow is angled sharply at the position of a stud divided by a cross into four compartments, of which at least one retains a reddish trace of enamel. A series of diamond shaped compartments extends down the bow in three rows, again retaining faint traces of enamel. The jagged stub of a catch-plate remains on the back of the bow, which terminates at a heavily moulded drum-shaped foot. Suggested date: Early Roman, 75-150.Length: 37.5mm, Width (wings): 17.2mm, Thickness (crest of bow): 5.9mm, Weight: 10.81gms.
