Description: | An incomplete late Iron Age -early Roman copper-alloy Colchester brooch with a date range from 25-60AD. The spring of eight turns is secured by passing the external chord under a forward-facing hook which folds down onto the top of the bow. The short wings are relatively flat in section, are wider nearer to the bow and measure 15.3mm in width. The surface of the wings is pitted and so it is not possible to say if there was any decoration. The spring has been badly bent out of position. The bow is plain below this point and is D-shaped in section. The foot is slightly pointed. The catchplate and pin are missing. The surface of the bow is badly abraded. The brooch has a dull red/brown patina. Similar brooches can be seen in Hattatt 2000, pp296-7. | Subjects: | Colchester | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
