Description: | Copper-alloy brooch fragment, Colchester type. Missing pin, half spring, lower bow and catchplate. Undecorated flat wings. Oval section tapering bow, very corroded - just possibly a central line of punched dots but almost all of the surface is missing on the front. Slight horizontal grooves on the back of the bow are 2-3 mm apart. In profile the bow has a kick at the top and is then fairly straight. Near the break at the back a separate copper-alloy blob has been melted or corroded onto the bow; just below this the back of the bow is pitted and slightly shiny. This might be fire damage, and the surviving surfaces overall are unusually black in colour. Width (wings) 12 mm, surviving length 35 mm. Proportions and profile as Kelvedon (Rodwell 1987) no. 15. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
