Description: | A fragment of a cast copper alloy Roman brooch. The wings are semi-cylindrical with incomplete and abraded terminals. The axis bar, spring and pin are all missing. The wings are undecorated. At the junction of the bow head and wings, in the centre there is the remains of an incomplete lug or hook, this would have held the spring chord. The bow head is hump-like in profile, but is quite triangular. The bow head and bow is undecorated. The bow head tapers gradually to form the bow which is oval in section. The bow is broken below the head, the break is not recent. The brooch has traces of a mid brown patina, otherwise the surface is abraded. It measures 11.43mm long, 16.98mm wide and weighs 3.9g.
The brooch is a Colchester Two-Piece brooch, which cannot be confidently narrowed down further. | Subjects: | 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 |
