Description: | Copper alloy brooch fragment, Colchester derivative hinged type. Upper half only, missing pin and the wing terminals are damaged. The surfaces are very worn and have some corrosion. The hinge bar is iron. The outer half of the wings are moulded with a broad concave moulding flanked by narrower ribs (possibly beaded?) with intervening grooves. The upper bow is a fairly flat D-section with a centre rib (now corroded almost flat). This is separated by two transverse grooves from a central broader moulding which appears to be an animal head although it is too worn to be certain, and the break at the narrow ?muzzle end emphasises the impression. Surviving width 40mm, surviving length 27mm. No comparable bow form found in Hattatt or Suffolk material.
