Description: | Roman copper alloy headstud variant brooch, heavily worn with a green patina. The brooch is 34mm long, 23mm wide and 13mm deep and weighs 11.8g. The wings are decorated with raised ribs which mimic the springs - but the spring mechanism and pin are missing. There are two semi-spherical protrusions on the front surface, one immediately in front of the spring case and another, which appears to have a break where a loop may have been attached, adjoining it on the bow. The bow has a curving profile and is decorated with raised pellets along the central rib. The narrow end has broken off about two-thirds of the way down the catchplate. Not in Hattatt.
