Description: | A heavily worn, corroded and incomplete copper-alloy Colchester type two-piece brooch of 1st century date (R. Hattatt; 1982; pp.60).
The head is short and the wings have a flat underside and a damaged central lug, into which the now-missing axis bar and spring would have fitted. On top of the head is a rearward lug, the function of which would have been to secure the spring's external chord. The bow is of sub-circular section and tapers to a point at the foot. Only a remnant of the catchplate survives.
The brooch measures 46.8mm long, 8.4mm wide and 20.2mm deep. The weight is 5.33g. | 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
