Description: | An incomplete copper alloy Roman Colchester derivative brooch with double pierced lug. The wing case is semi-cylindrical and only the lower part of the double lug remains, the pin, coil and axis bar are missing. The bow is triangular in section and is decorated with a raised rib which continues the line of the lug, and there are traces of moulding on the wings. The brooch is corroded and misshapen, possibly due to having been in a fire. The catchplate is triangular and unpierced. The brooch measures 30.09mm in length, 18.18in width, and weighs 3.85g. It dates to the first century AD.
