Description: | A small and incomplete cast copper-alloy Roman Colchester derivative double-pierced lug bow brooch. It is missing the pin, half of the spring coil, most of the bow, foot and catchplate due to old breaks. It has short, undecorated semi-cylindrical wings separated by a rear-facing doulbe pierced lug. This holds in place one half of a copper-alloy axis bar and spring coil with three coils surviving intact. The prominent lug extends forwards onto the D-shaped bow as a large central rib with slight fluting to either side. The fragment measures 12.54mm in length, 15.88mm in width at bow, and weighs 2.54g. This brooch is similar to examples from Roman Richborough (Bayley and Butcher, 2004: nos. 184-185) and dates to the 1st century AD.
