Description: | Part of a copper alloy Roman headstud brooch dating from 75 - 200 AD. Only the head and upper bow survives. The brooch has rectangular wings with the remains of a loop on the back which would have held the now missing pin mechanism. The front of the wings are decorated with vertical bands of ridges, red enamel and zigzag lines. There is a badly corroded integral headstud on the upper bow. It was probably a pointed oval shape. The surviving part of the bow is corroded, and the break is patinated.
