Description: | A possible copper alloy headstud brooch dating to the Roman period, c. AD 50 to 200. The object has a sub-rectangular head which holds a hinge mechanism with part of the pin still in place. There are some vertical lines on the wings. The bow projects at 90 degrees from the head and there is a small circular cell which may have formed part of a headstud. The bow does not arch away very much and tapers to point where the foot and catchplate are missing. The brooch could be a very simple headstud brooch with the headloop missing, see Bayley and Butcher (2004: 97) catalogue number 232 although the circular cell on the bow has been recorded on a Hod Hill brooch in the same publication, catalogue number 146 which would then date to AD 43 to 70.
