Description: | Roman (AD50-80) cast copper alloy Colchester two-piece brooch. The bow is a continuous curve with a two ribs with a concave moulding between them and to either side. The wings are rectangular in plan, and are 'C' shaped in profile to form the casing for the sprung pin mechanism. There is an incised groove on the outer edge of each wing.

There is a large triangular catchplate on the reverse of the bow, and this has been rolled over to secure the pin. The brooch has a mid green patina. It is 34.31mm long, 20.61mm wide across the wings, 6.64mm wide at the top of the bow, 4.37mm wide at the foot of the bow, the bow is 13.19mm deep. It weighs 5.22 grams.
