Description: | Copper alloy brooch, Colchester derivative type with rear hook spring attachment. Missing spring, pin; damage on underneath of wing; some corrosion. The spring was held by the rear hook and probably solder of which there are traces in the right hand wing back. The wings have a single diagonal groove and a single terminal groove. The bow tapers to a point and is flat backed with facetted sides and front to give a strong central angle. The thick catchplate thins at the fold to give a slight pin groove (unusually for a rear hook). Length 34.5mm, width 21mm.
