Description: | A fragment of a copper-alloy Colchester type brooch of 1st century date.
The one intact wing has a series of decorative vertical ridges on its diplay side. The underside of the head is recessed for the now-missing spring mechanism. At the centre of the top of the bow/head is a short protrusion which may represent the start of the spring (in which case this would be a one-piece brooch). The bow tapers towards the point where it is broken. It is of roughly semi-circular section, with a central ridge on the upper surface and a flat underside; two narrow ridges mark the vertical edges of the bow.
The object measures 17.27mm wide, 21.55mm long and 7.52mm thick. The weight is 3.59g. | 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
