Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy headstud brooch dating to the early Roman period. Only the upper bow and fragments of the wings survive. Although worn, the wings would have been cylindical in shape and circular in section, stepped down from the main body of the brooch by two small ridges. The bow of the brooch is rectangular in section and tapers towards the bottom where it is broken. On the surface of the crest of the bow there is a round stud with an annular recess around a central boss. Just below this are two vertical rows of small square shaped cells. The reverse is plain and undecorated. The integrally cast top loop and pin are missing.
