Description: | An incomplete copper alloy Roman Colchester derivative brooch, possibly a Polden Hill type. The wings are semi-circular with a wing cap at each end. The axis bar is made of iron around which a copper alloy spring is coiled. The pin is missing. The bow head is humped and undecorated. The bow tapers towards a broken edge. This break is not a recent break. The catchplate is therefore also missing. The surface of the brooch has patches of a mid grey/green coloured patina, otherwise the surface is corroded and abraded. The length of the brooch from the upper edge of the bow head to the lower edge of the bow is 22.8mm and the width across the wings is 21.1mm. The brooch weighs 6.72g. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
