Description: | Incomplete and very worn Roman copper alloy Colchester type one-piece brooch, missing much of the catchplate and the spring and pin. It is rather bent but measures 47mm in length and weighs 4.03g.
The wings are virtually non-existent and appear to have been squashed back against the bow. At this (widest) point the bow/ wings measure 4.5mm. Two worn spike extends outwards for the beginnings of the spring, and the forward-facing hook.
The bow is circular in section and narrows to a point 1.1mm wide. A small triangle of the remains of the catchplate project behind.
All patina has been lost.
