Description: | An incomplete copper alloy headstud brooch of Roman date. The head of the brooch is comprised of broken tubular wings with a slot to the reverse which houses the remains of a hinged pin. The pin proper and its mechanism no longer remain. The centre of the head extends into a sub-rectangular sectioned bow which tapers in circumference to a worn break. The break is semi-circular suggesting the presence of a hole through which a headstud would have been fitted. One wing of the brooch retains a triangular patch of blue enamel flanked by two smaller patches of red.The metal has a light reddish-green patina and is worn. The brooch is 21.4mm long, 26.7mm wide, 6.3mm thick and weighs 8.7g.
