Description: | Copper alloy brooch, large Colchester derivative type with double pierced lug spring attachment. Missing spring, pin, one wing; second wing and spring lug damaged, catchplate damaged; surfaces all heavily corroded. No decoration survives on the wing, which is curved in section. The bow is near circular in section but flattened at the back and tapers slightly to a very blunt point. There is no sign of decoration on the bow and in profile it has an acute angle at the head with a gentle curve below. Surviving width 18mm, surviving length 62.5mm. Some similarities to the Colchester prototype in size and shape although of heavier construction. | 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
