Description: | Copper alloy brooch, Colchester derivative with rear hook spring attachment. Missing spring, pin, and damaged catchplate; mostly in very good condition. Corroded patches at the back of the wings at both ends are probably evidence of solder to hold the spring. The wings have moulded terminals - a flute and a worn hatched bead, separated by narrow grooves. The bow is a reverse D-section type, ie it has a slightly convex decorated front and is deeply rounded behind this. The decoration consists of longitudinal narrow ribs and grooves, the two centre ribs having angled lightly incised hatching. The bow tapers slightly to a broad concave transverse moulding flanked by narrow grooves at the foot. Although the rear hook Colchester derivative is a generally East Anglian type the form of the bow of this eg is unusual.
