Description: | Copper alloy brooch fragment, Colchester or Colchester derivative type. Catchplate and lower bow only, bent at the break. The surviving bow is oval in section, with a slightly flattened back, tapering slightly to a flat end. It is undecorated except for traces of one or two transverse grooves at the foot. The large catchplate has five triangular holes and a deep pin groove. Surviving length 38mm, maximum bow width 4mm. The catchplate design with pin groove and with triangular rather than rectangular piercing suggests a Colchester derivative (double lug) rather than Colchester type, but a large example.
