Description: | A copper alloy Roman brooch, Colchester derivative with double pierced lug spring attachment. There are two parallel ridges on the bow, which narrows towards the foot. The catchplate is triangular and solid, extending from a curved rib in the centre of the underside of the foot. The spring (missing) would have been housed in hollow wings, semi-circular in section. On the upper side the wings are undecorated, apart from an incised groove between the bow and the wing on each side. There is a ridge at the end of the bow which forms a loop above the wings for attachment of the spring, and another below this in the centre of the wings on the underside. The pin is missing.
