Description: | A cast copper alloy Roman Colchester two-piece brooch. The object consists of the head of the brooch and most of the bow. The spring mechanism, most of the pin and part of one wing are missing. The double head loop remains intact. The bow is decorated with an incised zigzag down the centre, and is terminated by a worn break. Part of the wrought pin remains as a separate fragment. The object is slightly worn, with a mid grey green patina. Brooches of this type date to the 1st century AD. Parallels for this brooch can be found in Hattat 2000, fig.156.
