Description: | Cast copper-alloy Roman Colchester derivative brooch. The semi-cylindrical wings are undecorated. The spring, which has eight turns is secured by passing the external chord and the axial bar through a vertical plate with two perforations behind the head. The plate behind the head is carried over the top to form a crest. The flat front of the bow is decorated with incised rocker-arm ornament. The catchplate has a circular and triangular perforation. Even green patina. This brooch is very similar to examples from Stonea, Cambs (Mackreth 1986, 306 nos. 27-9 fig. 95).
