Description: | Copper alloy brooch, Colchester derivative hinged type. Complete except for damage to the catchplate; the pin is very bent. There is iron staining around the back of the wings (along the join and at the ends) suggesting an iron hinge bar, although a magnet failed to react. The wings have broad concave and rib mouldings flanked by narrow grooves and ribs at the terminals. The bow has a convex back, short vertical sides with a slight groove at the top and is then angled towards the central deep groove; it tapers slightly to a flat end.The top of the junction with the wings is a straight edge, emphasised by two transverse grooves on the bow. The catchplate is plain. Length 53.5mm, width 35.5mm. Not closely paralled in Suffolk though all elements can be found on other hinged types.
