Description: | A copper alloy Roman bow brooch, Colchester derivative hinged type. The wing case and part of the bow survive, but the bow foot, catchplate and pin are missing. The wings are folded round to form a cylindrical case, with grooved decoration. The bow is D-shaped in section, with a central rib 15.3mm in length, and side ribs and grooves. Below this are six narrow bands of transverse moulding. The brooch measures 27.30mm in width, 23.02mm in surviving length, and weighs 6.34g. Examples with similar moulding from Hatcheston are shown in Blagg et al, 2004, fig.65, nos 127 and 129.
