Description: | A cast copper alloy Roman Colchester one piece brooch, dating to the 1st century AD. The object consists of the bow of the brooch, and the remains of the head. The spring, pin and catchplate are missing; the breaks are well worn. The wings remain as two worn stubs either side of the bow. The head loop and part of the external chord survive. The bow has a flattened oval section and tapers to the foot. It is undecorated. The object is extremely worn and has a mid reddish-brown patina. Parallel for this brooch can be found in Hattatt 2000, page 296, Figure 155. | Subjects: | Colchester | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
