Description: | A worn cast copper alloy Colchester one-piece brooch of late Iron Age or early Roman date. The incomplete brooch measures 45.4mm by 11.1mm by 3.1mm and weighs 4.7g. The surviving part comprises the short plain crossbar, less than half of the spring, the rearward hook which would have kept the chord in place and the plain curving bow. The pin, the rest of the spring and all but a stub of the catchplate are missing. A similar but more complete example can be seen in Hattatt's 'Visual Catalogue' (2000, p. 296, fig. 155, no. 250). This brooch is from Thetford, Norfolk.
