Full Description
April-May 2000. Metal detecting.
H. M. Geake (NCM) identified object. All Ae.
Roman Headstud brooch. The head has the conventional vertical line decoration and is drilled through the reverse for an iron hinge bar, wtih a slot in the centre for the missing pin. There is an integral chain loop on the top of the head. The bow starts with a circular 'headstud', a relief circle with a cross, and below is a longitudinal recessed panel with small transverse mouldings within. These run down to a button on the foot. On the reverse is a deep catchplate, now incomplete. There does not appear to have ever been any enamel on this brooch, which is fairly small for a headstud (length 45mm). 2nd century AD.
Polaroid (S1) taken.
K. Hinds (NLA) 22 June 2000.
