Description: | An incomplete copper alloy Roman brooch; a headstud type dating from AD 75 - 200. The brooch has a broken integral head loop, tubular wings and an integral circular head stud which is worn. The wings have transverse incised lines on them. The bow is curved and decorated with 11 recessed cells in a lattice formation which would have held enamel which is now missing. Some of the cells contain traces of red, which suggests some of the enamel was this colour. The foot is missing, as is the catchplate and the pin. The remains of a copper alloy axis bar is visible in the slot for the hinged pin. The brooch has a patchy green patina. For a similar example see SWYOR-7E2594.
