Description: | Roman brooch of Headstud type, corroded with much loss of surface. The foot terminates in a disc-like moulding separated from the bow by a series of circumferential grooves (the details of which are lost to corrosion). The bow has a 'D' shaped section the top of which is decorated with a series of incised notches, giving a herring-bone effect. On the head of the bow is the eponymous headstud, which is cylindrical with a small, central hollow. There is a ring on the end of the brooch's head: this appears to be heavily worn or corroded. Head is cylindrical with a central notch into which the hinge type pin is engaged. This is held in place by pin running through the length of the head. Each side of the head are two transverse grooves. Length 58.0mm, Width 18.2mm, Height 18.3mm, Mass 11.62g.
