Description: | Copper alloy brooch fragment, Colchester derivative / Polden Hill variant. Upper half only, missing spring, pin; some corrosion/abrasion of the surfaces. The spring was held with the axis bar through a 5mm wide enclosed wing terminal and the chord held by a rear hook. The wings have a broad concave moulding, flanked by ribs and a single groove, at the terminals. The bow is flat backed wth a rounded reeded front, slightly tapering and with a rounded head at the juntion with the wings. Width 28.3mm, surviving length 25mm. The type is broadly similar to Scole (EAA 5, 1977) no.1 and very similar to other Suffolk egs from Wenhaston, Coddenham, Pettistree.
