Description: | Copper alloy brooch fragment, Colchester derivative type. Upper half only, missing pin; corroded and abraded. The back of the wings/spring cover are particularly obscured and it is not certain whether this is an enclosed hinged type or a sprung type (perhaps a Polden Hill?), but there is certainly iron present. No surviving decoration on the wings. The bow is circular in section; in profile at the top it is slightly humped and also thickens around the base of the wings. There are slight traces of grooves along the centre of the bow. Width 23mm, surviving length 23mm. Similar to Hattatt no. 898 (a rear hook Polden Hill) in shape and proportions though that one is slightly larger.
