Description: | A Late Iron Age to Early Roman (AD 25-60) copper alloy Colchester brooch, 82mm long, 21mm wide and 19mm deep. The brooch is in fair condition with a green/red patina and weighs 12.79grams. The brooch consists of a slightly curved rectangular head plate, which has rounded edges. Attached to this is an S shaped circular sectioned shaft which begins at the base of the head plate and curves around over the top of the brooch, this would have held the spring which is now missing. The shaft has a sub-rectangular section, 6mm wide and 4mm thick and tapers gently to a point. It has no decoration and its lower part has faint traces of the catchplate on its reverse. | Subjects: | Colchester | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Scott, Wendy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
