Description: | The brooch was probably a Colchester Two-Piece brooch, however, only the lower portion of the brooch remains. It has been made from cast copper alloy.
The bow of the brooch is an oval in section. It is decorated with horizontal grooves. The bow tapers to a small bulbous foot.
On the reverse of the bow there is an almost complete catch plate. It has an area of openwork, the original shape is not certain, as the upper portion of the catch plate is missing. The exterior edge of the catch plate is curved.
The surface of the brooch has a grey/green coloured patina.
The brooch measures 27.2mm long, 3.5mm wide across the bow and weighs 2.98g. | 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: | 43
