Description: | Copper alloy brooch, Colchester derivative type with rear hook for spring attachment. Missing spring, pin; right wing bent, otherwise good condition. The rear hook is broad, with single grooves flanking a convex central area. The wings are moulded, with groups of broad and narrow ribs each separated by narrow grooves. The bow tapers to a small flat end. The back of the bow has two low facets meeting at a central angle. There are small side flanges, from which the sides rise to meet at a central longitudinal band. The band is slightly sunken and has horizontal grooves creating a beaded effect. Length 44mm, surviving width 24mm. Broadly similar to Colchester (Crummy 1983, 12) no.56 but more ornate.
