Description: | Copper alloy brooch, Colchester derivative type with rear hook spring attachment. The spring, pin and much of the catchplate are missing. The bow is bent and abraded and there is recent damage to bow front. There is possible solder corrosion in the rear of the right hand wing. The wings are moulded, mainly with broad ribs with intervening grooves. The bow has a slightly convex back and tapers to a blunt point. Short vertical sides join a convex front with two centre grooves. The catchplate has a row of light incised rocker pattern along the junction with the bow on both sides. The pattern of damage to the catchplate might indicate that there was originally a central triangular hole. The brooch is 29mm wide and 60mm long.
