Description: | Fragment of Roman Colchester derivative brooch, consisting of the lower bow and openwork catchplate only. It is 25.1mm in incomplete height and weighs 2.31g. The bow is slightly bent outwards at the (old) break.The catchplate itself has a damaged curl (the top part) but is otherwise intact. It extends 9.6mm to the reverse from the centre of the reverse of the bow. A groove flanks the curl of the catchplate on the internal edge. An openwork circle 1.6mm in diameter sits at the centre of the top of the catchplate. It is however mostly obscured by orange corrosion, as is much of the catchplate and part of the bow.The bow is T-shaped in section - flat with a prominent curving rib 2.8mm wide running vertically along the centre. Loss of patina obscures any possible decoration. It measures 4.8x2.6mm at the break, narrowing to 4.2mm wide at the foot.Probably 1st century in date.
