Description: | Probably an incomplete copper alloy headstud brooch of Roman date. The head of the brooch is comprised of very narrow rectangular wings from the reverse of which two integral lugs would have originally housed an axis bar around which the loop of the pin would have been hinged. The pin proper no longer remains. A rectangular sectioned bow extends centrally from the wings tapering steadily in width to a worn break. Similar on the database to YORYM-27EB75 and YORYM-7B8521. The length is 48mm, the width is 24mm thickness 12mm and the weight 38.92g. Similar examples are illustrated in Hattatt p.332-3, figs.191-2 and are dated to the 2nd Century AD.
