Description: | A copper alloy brooch dating to the Roman period. The object can probably be classified as a headstud type. The head is flat and the wings are short and incomplete. The bow tapers towards before terminating with a break. It curves slightly in profile. At the top of the bow is a raised oval moulding or headstud which is worn. The object is a sprung example and the spring remains complete and corroded. The pin and catchplate are missing. The object has a dark brown patina and is in poor condition. It can be dated from AD75-200.
