Description: | A corroded and incomplete cast copper-alloy Colchester brooch dating to the late Iron Age to early Roman period, c. 25-65 AD. This one-piece brooch has an abraded rearward facing hook at the top of the head. This hook would have held the external chord of the spring; this latter, along with the pin, immediately just below the head, is now missing. Below the hook there are two flat wings which survive highly abraded (W. across wings: 7.05mm). The bow is semi-circular in cross-section with a flat lower surface. It tapers as it curves from the head to catchplate end, where it is pointed. It is bent round on itself above the catchplate. The catchplate itself is highly abraded. The brooch has corroded to a red-brown colour with areas of lighter corrosion product all over. | Subjects: | Colchester | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
