Description: | Copper alloy brooch, Colchester derivative with double pierced lug spring attachment type. Damage to the pin and catchplate. The spring has 9 turns. The wings are flat and have single grooves at the terminals and diagonally. The bow is triangular in section with small side flanges and tapers to a blunt point. A strong centre groove runs along the centre bow, except at the top where two angular transverse moulding extend forward from the spring lug. Length 41mm, width 23mm. This type is known from West Stow (West 1990, E Anglian Archaeol 48, no.154) and a similar one recorded from Mildenhall (by Moyses Hall Museum). The type looks early in the form of the wings (flat as the Colchesters) and lacks the pin groove on the catchplate which is the norm on othe double lug types.
