Description: | Incomplete copper-alloy Late Iron Age to Roman Colchester brooch. The short flat wings are now almost entirely missing, extending on either side of the bow for c. 3mm. From the centre at the top of the reverse of the wings there is a rectangular projection which extends back from the wings then up and forward, being re-attached to the head of the brooch forming a forward loop at the back of the wings. The circular-sectioned bow is narrow, gently angled and tapers to a point at the foot (width: 1.66-4.52mm). The bow is now heavily worn and there is no evidence of decoration. The catchplate and pin are missing. Patchy mid-green and red-brown patina.
