Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy Colchester type two-piece brooch of 1st century AD date (R. Hattatt; 1982; pp.60).
The spring is badly corroded, making it impossible to see any detail, and most of it is missing. The head is narrow and the pin is missing. The bow is thin, semi-circular in secion and tapers to a point at the foot. Only a remnant of the catchplate survives.
The brooch measures 43.1mm long, 10.5mm wide, and weighs 3.8g. | Subjects: | Two-piece Colchester type | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Laakso, Laura | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
