Description: | Copper alloy brooch, Colchester derivative type with hinged pin. Missing part of one wing and most of pin. The surviving wire wound around the centre of the hinge bar is probably a replacement pin stub. The hinge bar is iron. There are traces of single grooves on the wing terminals. The bow is flat backed, Unusually for this type the front is divided into an upper and lower half. On the upper half a raised triangle in a grooved outline has the point down at the mid bow, against a transverse groove. The lower bow is a flat strip, expanding slightly towards the straight end; it has a row of three punched dot and ring motifs along the centre of the bow. The solid catchplate has a pin groove (a feature normally found on double lug types). Length 33.5mm, surviving width 17.4mm. The proportions and upper half are quite similar to a Hacheston example (Blagg et al 2004, no.136).
