Description: | An incomplete copper alloy Colchester brooch. The wings are short and flat, both incomplete, but having traces of transverse moulding. There is a forward-facing hook bent over the bow. The spring and pin are missing. The bow is curved, flat-backed and D-shaped in section, and traces of the catchplate remain. The bow is decorated with a pair of longitudinal wavy lines running the full length. The brooch measures 52.53mm in length, 13.63mm in surviving width across the wing case, and weighs 7.06g. Examples from Hatcheston with similar decoration but from Colchester derivative types (without forward-facing hook) are illustrated in Blagg et al, 2004, nos 71 and 74.)
