Roman copper alloy headstud brooch
Possibly a Headstud brooch, much damaged, with a heavily eroded surface and traces of three or four square cells inlaid with traces of enamel, now a red colour. Part of the pin and three or four turns of the spring survive. The catch and foot of the bow are lost, and the lower part of the bow is bent out of true. The small wings on either side of the head were probably vertically grooved.
