Description: | An incomplete, copper-alloy Late Iron Age to Roman Colchester brooch dating to c.25-60AD. The short wings are flat and the bow is circular in section and tapers to a point at the foot. The catchplate has three rectangular perforations. Only one turn brooch of the spring survives, but when complete it is likely to have had six or eight turns. The pin is missing, but the forward-facing hook which would have held the spring's external chord is intact.
A similar example can be seen in Hattatt's Visual Catalogue (2000; 297, fig.156, no.1455). Also in Crummy's Colchester report (1995; 11-12; Fig 6, no.38). | Subjects: | Colchester | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McIntosh, Frances | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
