Description: | Cast copper-alloy Colchester derivative brooch fragment with a double lug. The wings are semi-cylindrical; one of which is missing. The missing spring and pin would have been secured by passing the external chord and axial bar through a lug behind the head. The upper of the two holes on the lug is broken. The forward hook in the form of a crest continues as a prominent median ridge down the bow. One shallow vertical groove on wing, close to the junction with head. Iron corrosion on reverse from axial bar. Approximately one-third of lower bow and catchplate is missing. Mid-green, even patina. A similar brooch found in Colchester is published in N.Crummy 'The Roman small finds from excavations in Colchester, 1971-9 Colchester'page 12 nos. 48, 50, 52 fig. 6.
