Description: | Copper alloy brooch, Colchester derivative double lug type. Missing spring and pin. The wings are undecorated (but corrosion might conceal a single groove at the terminal) and curved. The bow is flat backed with small edge flanges and rises, giving a triangular profile, to a central pair of incised lines. The catchplate does not have a pin groove. Length 46mm, width 28mm. This sub-group of the double lug Colchester derivatives occurs at West Stow (West 1990, nos 154, 159), also Oakley (OKY 005 no 85411) , Bradfield St Clare and other, mainly west Suffolk locations; most of these have flatter wings and more complex bow centre decoration but all have similar bow shape and lack of pin groove.
