Description: | A fragment of a copper-alloy Colchester type two-piece brooch of 1st century date (R. Hattatt; 1982; pp.60).
The head measures 16.9mm wide by 4.1mm high. The wings are recessed on the underside and there is a central lug. The only remnant of the spring is a short length of the external chord, which passes through a rearward lug on top of the head. The bow measures 7mm wide at the top, by 3mm thick; it has a vertical central ridge and a flat underside. Only the top 6mm of the bow survives, the remainder of the brooch having been broken off. Overall, the object measures 12.1mm high and weighs 1.95g. | 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: | 1
