Description: | A cast copper alloy Colchester Two-Piece brooch. The bow head and wings are incorporated together and in plan the bow head is a sub oval. On the reverse there is a vertical integral lug with a circular hole in the centre. The pin and spring are missing. The bow protrudes from the centre of the bow head. The bow is triangular in section and tapers. However, only a short portion of the bow remains, as it is fragmentary. The broken edge of the bow is probably recent. The brooch has patches of a dark green patina. It weighs 4.67g, and measures 11.73mm wide and 14.4mm long.
The brooch is a Colchester Two-Piece brooch, a Trumpet-headed type. Trumpet brooches date to the 1st to 2nd century (Bayley, J. and Butcher, S. 2004 Roman Brooches in Britain: A Technological and Typological Study based on the Richborough Collection Society of Antiquaries p. 160-164). | Subjects: | Trumpet-Headed Colchester Two Piece | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bolton, Angie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
