Description: | A copper-alloy Roman Colchester derivative hinged type bow brooch, only missing its pin. The wings are folded to form a cylindrical case around the axis bar on which the pin would have originally been hinged on in the centre. The axis bar appears to have been made of iron as there is iron corrosion along the length of the fold of the wings. The wings have prominent transverse mouldings across them, the bow is D-shaped in section and also has prominent transverse mouldings across it. The catch plate is unpierced. There are also traces of a white metal coating on this brooch. It measures 38.50mm in length and 34.77mm in width. This example is very similar to one from Hacheston, which also has mouldings on the wings and across the bow (Plouviez et al 2004, 97-98, fig 65, no. 133)
