Description: | Copper alloy brooch, Headstud type. Complete except for headloop and enamel but corroded and abraded. The pin is hinged and there is no trace of a headloop - which was therefore probably formed from extensions of the hinge bar wire.The pin has a small double rib moulding at the top of the shaft. The headstud is a cast dot in circle motif, with no trace of enemal surviving in the intervening circle. The enamelled bow has blue surviving in the central lozenges and traces of possible red in the flanking triangles. The foot is flat-ended with a small 2mm diam off-centre pit which may be a casting fault. Width 17mm, length 55mm. Type as Colchester (1983) no 65 but this has a spring and forward hook.
