Description: | A copper alloy Colchester brooch, dating from the late Iron Age-early Roman period (15-60AD). The wings are short, flat and plain and are 15.5mm wide. They are slightly recessed on the reverse, in order to hold the spring. There is a forward hook, now damaged, which would have held the external chord of the spring. Only part of one turn of the spring survives. The pin is mssing. The bow is long and narrow and is bent at the lower bow. The bow has a rounded front and a flat back and is undecorated. It measures approximately 69mm long by 3.2mm thick. There is only a remnant of the catchplate. The overall dimensions of the brooch (as it is after having been bent) are 58.3mm long by 24.5mm wide. The weight is 5.43g. | Subjects: | Colchester | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
