Description: | A fragment of a copper-alloy Colchester type brooch of early to mid 1st century AD date (R. Hattatt, 1982, p.60).
The piece consists of the lower part of the bow and the foot and catchplate. The bow is of semi-circular section and tapers in width towards the squared off foot. The catchplate is openwork, with a large triangular hole and a rolled lip. There is attached iron corrosion, possibly from the now-missing pin.
The object measures 28.6mm high by 12.6mm wide and 3.4mm thick. It weighs 2.23g. | 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
