Description: | Copper-alloy Colchester type two piece brooch of 1st C. AD date. Piece measures 39.7mm long with a shallow bow 13.6mm deep. The bow is sub-triangular in section due to the presence of a single raised rib which runs down the middle of the display side of the bow. This rib extends right to the top of the brooch, creating a crest. The bow is 5.3mm wide, by 2.6mm thick. The wings measure 20mm wide in total and are plain. The pin is missing but the coils of the spring remain largely intact. The catchplate is undamaged. It measures 21.7mm long, by 9.3mm high. The foot of the brooch is squared off. Weight = 6.59g. The condition of the brooch is relatively poor, with evidence of corrosion. | Subjects: | Colchester Two-piece | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
