Description: | An incomplete Colchester Brooch dating from c.15-60AD. The remains of two heavily corroded small rectangular wings protrude either side of the head and are 2mm wide, 2mm long and 1mm thick. All that remains of the spring is a small spike protruding from the rear although it is possible to see a coil of the spring from its shape. There is the remains of a forward facing hook on the head that would have secured the external chord of the spring, only the base remains. The bow is plain and tapers to a fine point at the foot and the whole of the catch plate is missing. The brooch is 41mm in length, 4mm thick and 8mm wide. It has a mid-dark brown patina and the whole of the original surface has corroded away.
