Description: | Copper alloy Colchester brooch dating from the late Iron Age-early Roman period. The spring is missing, but part of the foward hook which would have secured the external chord of the spring and a trace of one coil of the spring at the back of the head survive. The wings are short and there is an acute angle at the junction of head and bow. The bow tapers gently towards the foot, partial remains of the catchplate survive on the lower bow. The brooch has a light green patina, and its surface is pitted with corrosion. It is 49mm long, and a maximum of 12mm wide. Weight is 8.9g.
