Description: | Copper alloy brooch, Colchester derivative type with rear hook spring attachment. Missing spring, pin and one wing, damaged hook and catchplate; areas of corrosion. The wing has a central broad concave moulding and two ribs near the terminal. The bow is triangular in section but with small flanges at the edge and a rib along the central angle; it tapers to a damaged ?blunt point. A row of punched dots angled on each side outlines a central lozenge and there are further punched dots along the edge flange. In profile the bow is humped to give a typical "dolphin" shape. Length 35mm, surviving width 19mm. Broadly similar to an eg from Colchester (Crummy 1983 no.56) and comparable to one from Oakley, Suffolk (unpublished, excavation, OKY 005 85336).
