Description: | A cast copper alloy Late Iron Age to early Roman Colchester one piece brooch, dating to the 1st century AD. The object consists of the bow of the brooch, and the remains of the head. The spring, pin and catchplate are missing; the breaks are well worn. The wings remain as two worn stubs either side of the bow. A short projection above and below the wings are all that remains of the spring mechanism. The bow has a flattened oval section and tapers to a rounded point. It is undecorated. Two shallow notches on the reverse of the bow above the terminal indicate that the catchplate probably had two piercings. The object is extremely worn and has a mid greenish brown patina. Parallel for this brooch can be found in Hattatt 2000, page 296, Figure 155.
