Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy Roman hinged T-shaped or Colchester derivative tapering bow brooch. The pin of the brooch is missing and so is the catchplate. The ends of both the wings and the lower part of the bow have broken off. The wings are tubular and where the wings are broken the iron axis which would have secured the missing hinged pin is exposed. The bow is D-shaped in section and tapers towards the missing foot. It has a moulded knurled crest extending from the head and tapering towards the lower bow. This crest is defined by raised moulding in the form of rectangular bosses. The crest probably did not extend to the foot, which is missing, as the bosses flatten out towards the end of the broken bow, but it is too corroded to be sure.
The length of what remains of the brooch is 19 mm; width of bow is 10 mm; thickness of bow is 3.5 mm; width of wings is 19.4 mm; diameter of wings is 5 mm. It weighs 3.8g.
