Description: | A copper alloy Roman brooch, Colchester derivative (double lug) type. The bow tapers towards the foot but the foot is missing. There is a single vertical ridge along the centre of the bow which rises in the centre of the arms to form a pierced lug for attachment of the spring. The arms are hollow and semi-circular in section to accommodate the spring. The spring and a short section of the pin survives. This is constructed from a single coiled turned five times around the pin bar before forming the shaft of the pin. The lower pierced lug in the centre of the arms on the reverse is not visible.
