Description: | Copper alloy brooch, Colchester derivative type with double pierced lug for spring attachment. Missing pin, bent bow. Eight turn spring. No decoration on the wings. The bow is flat backed and tapers slightly to a flat end. The bow front has a centre rib on the upper bow extending the line of the spring lug, below which the centre is flat and flanked by broad concave mouldings; there are very sligth traces of incised ?rocker on the rib and the middle area. The catchplate has a pin groove and a V-shaped hole following the line of the bow and inner edges. The inside face of the catchplate is irregular as cast - a fully finished version might have enlarged the catchplate piercing? Width 27mm, length 61mm. This is the large version of the standard Colchester B type as illustrated from Wherstead (Gill et al, EAA Occas 9, 2001, no.4), details except catchplate piercing as Wenhaston (WMH 005, SR3,4).
