Description: | Cast copper dolpin brooch, or "Two-piece Colchester brooch". The brooch has semi-cylindrical wings in cross section; the spring is missing. There is a small loop at the top forming the terminal of the bow crest decoration, which would have held an external chord. The terminals of the wing faces are each decorated with four vertical concave channels. The bow is D-shaped in cross-section and has a moulded central lib which forms a crest at the top. The underside of the bow is unusual in that the slot for the pin is extended right the way up to just below the wings. The catchplate is complete. The pin is missing.
