Description: | Roman (40-80AD) cast copper alloy two-piece Colchester brooch. The brooch is incomplete, with a worn break across the bow, and the sprung pin is missing. The wings are rectangular in plan and the upper surface is decorated with vertical grooves. In profile the wings are curved so that they would encase the spring mechanism. There is a double pierced lug on the reverse of the wings, which would have held the chord and axis bar of the spring. The bow has a prominant ridge along its length. The brooch is 21.44mm long, 20.14mm wide across the wings, 5.95mm wide across the bow. The surviving section is 10.21mm deep, and the bow has a maximum thickness of 3.51mm. It weighs 3.78 grams.
