Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy 1st century AD, Colchester derivate type brooch.
The brooch has a spring mechanism, held in place by an external chord. The entire mechanism, including part of the pin survives intact and in situ. The pin has bent out of shape and has lost its tip. The spring has nine turns.
The wings also survive but are undecorated. The bow particularly survives but has been broken half way down. The break is well worn. Running down the middle of the bow is a raised rib.
The catchplate is missing.
The surface of the metal is pitted and it is a mid brownish-green 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: | 1
