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 vertical oval. The bow head is undecorated. On the reverse of the bow head there is an incomplete sub-oval lug with a central perforation. The axis bar, spring and pin are all missing. Only a fragment of the bow remains, it is oval in section and is narrowed before terminating with a broken surface. The break is not too recent. The brooch has a well developed mid grey coloured patina. It weighs 3.2g, and measures 9.34mm wide and 12.85mm 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). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bolton, Angie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
