Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy headstud brooch of early Roman date, c. 50-100.The brooch consists of the head and upper bow only and it is very worn and corroded. The head is roughly T-shaped with a spring pin cast integral with the brooch. Four and a half coils of the spring remain. The bow tapers very sharply from the head, and a circular perforation was drilled through the upper bow to take a rivet or lug for the fixing of a separate headstud. The headstud is missing, but the rivet/lug is still in place.
