Description: | A copper alloy Roman brooch catchplate fragment. It is most probably from a Colchester derivative brooch, dating to the first century AD. It is an incomplete triangular shape, with an openwork notched or lobed pattern in the centre. The bow is triangular in section, and there is a strong groove for the pin adjacent to the outside edge which curls forward over it. The fragment measures 17.48mm in length, 13.71mm at maximum width, tapering to 6mm at the foot of the catchplate. It weighs 1.31g. It resembles amongst others an example from Hatcheston (Blagg et al, 2004, no.105) which may be pre-55 AD in date.
