Description: | Roman brooch of Headstud type, cast copper, the eponymous is lost, leaving a hole. The tip of the foot is missing and it appears that work has been carried out on the catch plate, one side of which bears a 4.0mm wide band of dark material, probably solder. The other side of the catch plate bears traces on incised decoration: two horizontal lines linked by angled lines above which is a curving line. The bow has a square section sweeping down to a hollow, cylindrical head, in the centre of which are the remains of a hinge-type pin mechanism. At each end of the cylinder is a projection, one of which is marked by two transverse lines. A lug projecting from the head originally terminated in a ring. Length 41.2mm, Width 14.4mm, Height 13.7mm, Mass 5.51g.
