Description: | An incomplete and small Colchester derivative double-pierced lug brooch that is missing its spring, pin, most of the bow, foot and catchplate due to old breaks. The remains of the wings are semi-cylindrical in form separated by a prominent rear-facing double-pierced lug. The lug extends forwards to the head of the brooch forming a central ridge that runs down the centre of the bow. The bow itself is oval shaped in section and has fluted decoration to either side of the central ridge. This fragment measures 11.75mm in length, 14.98mm in width at wings, and weighs 1.65g.This is a fragment from the head of a small Colchester derivative double-pierced lug brooch similar to an example from Roman Richborough (Bayley and Butcher, 2004: no. 200). It dates to the 1st century or c.43-100 AD.
