Small head fragment of Roman brooch, possibly a T-shaped one which would date from the 1st/2nd century AD. Nothing except a very thin bow, part of the thin tube that protects the spring and part of the spring remains and it is difficult to say much more about type and age of the object. It does not seem like the brooch had enamelled decoration on the bow but rather moulded(?) decoration.
