Description: | Copper alloy brooch, Colchester derivative ?hinged type. The bow survives except for the foot and is also broken at the junction with the wings. However a detached wing has become corroded onto the side of the bow; it looks possible that this joined onto the stub on the bow but cannot be proved. The wing is tubular, from a hinged type, with hatched bead and concave mouldings. The bow has a slightly convex back and rounded front with two central deep longitudinal grooves. The wing and parts of the bow have a blackened surface and the broken edges of the wing might be heat affected. Surviving length 40mm. Type (both parts) is similar to an example from Wenhaston, Suffolk (WMH 005 no. KP38).
