| Description |
English: An incomplete cast copper alloy Roman heavily decorated proto headstud brooch dating to AD 50-150. The majority of the brooch survives, the head loop is damaged and the pin and part of the catchplate are missing. The brooch is 34.25mm in length and weighs 5.5 grams. The headloop is damaged at the projection of the loop. The lower surviving section of the head loop is decorated with a horizontal groove with punches along its length similar to ropework. Above the decorated groove are three broadly triangular recesses, the central recess is filled with blue enamel, the others are filled with red enamel. The wings are circular in cross section and have evidence of a white paste in the end of the wings. Each wing is decorated with four vertical grooves. The bow projects outwards then down at a ninety degree angle tapering from 8.7mm to 3.2mm. The bow is heavily decorated with raised recesses in the upper section of the bow and lozengiform recesses in the lower section of the bow. The upper section of the bow is decorated with two circular recesses above a triangular recess with a further circular recess below. No surviving enamel is visible in these recesses. Below the final circular recess are four lozengeform recesses the middle two contain surviving enamel, one red and the recess below blue. The catchplate is damaged. A similar brooch has been recorded by Mackreth plate 70 no. 7031 which he described as a proto headstud brooch with an emphasis of these brooches in the south west. |
