Description: | Incomplete copper alloy Roman Colchester-derivative brooch. The brooch is missing its lower half and so the size of the original is difficult to determine, although given the width and angle of the bow, it would appear to have been very small. The wings of the brooch measure a total of 18.4mm wide. They are hollow on the underside in order to take a spring. There is a crest in the centre of the head with a double perforation for the fixing of the spring. The head is decorated by two simple vertical ribs, one on either side. The bow is circular in section, with a diameter of only 2.5mm. There is evidence of possible cross-hatched decoration on the display side, although this is uncertain due to corrosion. There is no pin or catchplate. It measures 21.6mm high and weighs 3.7g.
