Description: | The object is a fragment of a Roman brooch, made from cast copper alloy. What remains of the brooch is the lower portion of the bow. The bow is broken just above a simplistic acanthus. In profile, the bow is straight. The bow is semi-circular in section. Below the acanthus it tapers to a simplistic circular sectioned foot. The lower portion of the bow is undecorated. On the reverse of the bow is a complete solid catchplate. The surface of the brooch is slightly abraded but has a light grey/green coloured patina. The brooch measures 33.81mm long and 6.11mm wide across the acanthus, and weighs 3.71g. The brooch is a Colchester Two-Piece brooch. The type is uncertain. It probably dates to the first to second centuries.
