Description: | One-piece Colchester brooch, complete except for half the spring and the pin. The wings are relatively long, and straight in section; there is decoration of vertical mouldings. The spring half which survives is of five coils and the chord passes under a long forward-facing hook ending in a flat disc. The hook is stuck so closely to the bow that it looks as if it were made in one piece and the hole drilled later! The bow is quite wide and flat, and a little bent. It is decorated with three broad vertical flutes, the central one filled with two vertical zigzag mouldings. The decoration runs down to a pointed foot with a catchplate on the reverse; this is now incomplete but retains a vertical row of rocker-arm engraving on either face, just behind the bow. Overall length 65 mm. 1st century AD. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1
