Description: | A copper alloy Colchester two piece type brooch dating to the first century AD. The brooch possesses semi-circular wings which conceal the spring mechanism. An overhead chord is secured by means of a perforated lug. The bow is D shaped in section with a central longtitudinal rib. The bow tapers to a rounded point. The catchplate is triangular. The pin is intact. The brooch measures 39mm in length and a maximum of 19mm in width. It is very similar to a brooch illustrated in Hattatt (2000) p. 297, No. 258. | 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: | 40
