Description: | An incomplete Colchester derivative rear hook brooch that is missing its hook, spring, pin, foot and catchplate due to old breaks. The brooch has semi-cylindrical wings that taper slightly towards their outer edges. The bow is sub-oval shaped in section and appears to be undecorated, although the surfaces are pitted and have suffered from some post-depositional wear. The bow terminates in old breaks approximately half way down its length. This fragment measures 22.02mm in length, 31.30mm in width at wings, and weighs 7.81g. This is a fragment from a Colchester derivative brooch, probably of rear hook type, dating to the first century AD or c.43-70 AD.
