Description: | Copper alloy brooch, large and elaborate Colchester derivative hinged type. Complete, some patches of corrosion. The wings are fully enclosed with flat ends and flattened on the back, where there is a step up to a thicker central part 8.5mm from each end. The front of each wing has a central concave moulding, flanked by pairs of beaded ribs and grooves. The bow is trapezoidal in section with a small beaded rib along each edge; the front has two longitudinal broad ribs with angled hatching set in a slightly recessed band leaving a narrow rib at each side.In profile the bow extends around the base of the wings junction as well as arching over the top. The bow tapers slightly to a flat ended foot. The pin is now corroded into the closed position in the catchplate (which does not have a pin groove). Length 67mm, width 39mm. No close parallels identified for this example.
