Description: | Copper alloy brooch, Colchester derivative hinged type. Missing most of the pin; small areas of corrosion. The hinge bar is iron and there are traces of white metal on the front of the bow and wings. The wings have alternate broad concave and convex mouldings separated by narrow grooves. The bow has a convex back and tapers to a small flat-ended foot knob which projects forwards. The upper bow has a rounded front; at the top a centre rib is defined by single grooves and single angled grooves emphasize the bow/wings junction. Below this transverse mouldings, alternately concave and convex, are separated by narrow grooves. The lower bow has flat vertical sides and facets which meet at the centre ridge. Width 33mm, length 40mm. Similar to a group of mainly east Suffolk hinged examples, varying in details of the mouldings etc, including a less ornate one from Hacheston (pubn no.127).
