Description: | A fragment of a Roman Colchester derivative brooch of uncertain type. These types of brooches date to the 1st to 2nd century. Only the lower portion of the brooch remains. The break of the bow is not recent. The bow is oval shaped in section and tapers to the bow foot. The bow is decorated with obliquely angled pairs of ridges. The foot is sub-circular in section and has moulded horizontal ridges. Behind the bow is the solid catch plate, which has its curved edge missing.
The brooch has traces developed a mottled light blue/green coloured patina. It weighs 1.84g, and measures 3.1mm wide across the upper portion of the bow and is 26.2mm long. | 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
