Description: | Copper alloy brooch, Colchester derivative hinged type. Missing pin and catchplate. The hinge bar is iron and there are slight traces of white metal coating on the front. The moulded wings each have two broad concave mouldings and two broad ribs with horizontal hatching, with intervening grooves. The bow is D-section but with a slightly convex back and tapers to a small foot knob which is angled upwards. The top part of the bow has a centre rib with traces of horizontal hatching, flanked by single grooves, and single grooves echo the line of the junction with the bow. Below this there are two broad transverse concave mouldings and between and below them transvers ribs with traces of hatching, separated by single grooves. The lower bow has flat side and top faces, meeting at a centre angle. Width 32.5mm, length 39mm. Similar to, though larger than, an example from Saxtead, Suffolk and a general sub-type found in east and central Suffolk (eg Hacheston pubn nos 126, 127).
