Description: | Cast copper alloy Colchester Two-Piece Derivative brooch. The bow, which is broken towards the foot, forms a continuous curve, with a longitudinal ridge which forms a pronounced 'hump' at the top of the bow. The pin mechanism comprises a spring of 10 turns with an axis bar that extends the length of the semi-circular wings, and which is passed through rearward rounded lugs at each end. This mechanism places the brooch in the Polden Hill series. The pin itself is missing, as is the foot and catchplate of the brooch. The undersides of the wings are decorated with a series of transverse and diagonal incised lines. The brooch has an even light green patina. It dates to circa 40-70 AD.
