Description: | Copper alloy brooch, Colchester derivative type with double pierced lug spring attachment. Missing foot with catchplate, spring, pin; damaged wings and spring lug; large areas of corrosion. No surviving decoration on the wings. The bow is flat backed and tapers slightly. At the front there are concave mouldings along the edges and a centre rib becomes a flat area at mid bow, with slight traces of decoration (?incised rocker). Surviving width 19mm, surviving length 30mm. This is a large example of the common Colchester B type, with a broader central strip than usual, fairly similar to one from Wherstead (Gill et al 2001, EAA Occas 9, 10-11, no.4 | 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
