Description: | Copper alloy brooch, Colchester derivative type with variant Polden Hill rear hook spring attachment. Upper half only, missing pin, some corrosion. The spring has 10 turns. The axis bar is held in 4mm wide enclose ends and a rear hook holds the chord. The wings have a concave moulding and rib with intervening grooves at the terminals. Traces of white metal / tinning survive on the surface of the wings. The bow has a slightly convex back and a rounded front. A central notched rib is flanked by a pair of grooves to give a reeded effect. Width 28.5mm, surviving length 23mm. Similar to examples from east Suffolk at Wenhaston (WMH 005) and Coddenham (Ips Museum 954.66.8) and to Hacheston (Blagg et al 2004, EAA 106, no 77) except the latter has fewer grooves on the bow.
