Description: | A copper-alloy Roman brooch. Colchester type brooch of 1st century AD date. The brooch has been re-worked, possibly into a pendant, by cutting off the foot and bending the bow forward so that the end joins to the front of the head, thus forming a loop. The head of the brooch measures 8mm wide and has a rearward lug on top and a damaged external chord or spring remnant underneath. The pin and spring coils are missing. The bow is sub-circular in section with a diameter of 3.5mm. The pendant measures 21mm high by 12.6mm wide and weighs 3.54g. It is heavily worn and corroded.
