Description: | Roman Brooch: Incomplete Colchester two piece brooch. Cast in copper alloy. The head of the brooch is incomplete, with a break across one of the wings. The surviving wing has vertical mouldings along its length. There is a hooked cord at the top of the head, through which the (incomplete) axis bar of the (incomplete) sprung pin is attached. The bow is curved with a wide central ridge running along its length. The triangular catchplate on the reverse of the bow is incomplete, and would have had circular perforations. The brooch is 30mm long. Colchester brooches are most common through the middle of the 1st century AD (Bayley and Butcher 2004, pp. 148-150).
