Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy 1st century AD, Colchester derivate type brooch.
The brooch would have had a spring mechanism, held in place by an external chord but this is now missing. The pin and the catchplate are also both missing.
The head proper of the brooch comprises the short wings, which the spring would have sat behind. Both wings have been broken. The bow is long and slender and tapers to the foot. The foot is bent and damaged.
The surface of the metal is pitted and it is a dark reddish-brown colour.
This type of brooch dates from the 1st century AD. This brooch is similar to examples in Hattatt, 2000, p296 ? 7. | 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: | 25
