Description: | The brooch was probably a Colchester Two-Piece brooch, however, only the lower portion of the brooch remains. This probably dates the brooch to the 1st or 2nd centuries. It has been made from cast copper alloy.
The bow of the brooch is semi-circular in section. It is decorated with two fine vertical grooves. The bow tapers to a bulbous foot which has a horizontal groove at the mid point.
On the reverse of the bow there is a complete solid catch plate. The exterior edge of the catch plate is curved.
The surface of the brooch has a grey/green coloured patina, the bow has traces of a white alloy coating.
The brooch measures 25mm long, 4.9mm wide across the bow and weighs 3.01g. | 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: | 200 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Angie Bolton | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
