Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy Roman Colchester brooch. It is missing the wings, spring, axis bar, pin and foot of the brooch due to old breaks. Short oval shaped stumps are visible at the head of the brooch that mark the remains of the semi-cylindrical wings, as well as the integral rear-facing spring and chord hook. The bow itself is oval shaped in section with a flat back and rounded front face, tapering towards the now missing foot. There are no traces of decoration and the entire object has suffered much post-depositional wear. It measures 30.76mm in length, 5.01mm in width at head, and weighs 2.26g. This is an incomplete Roman Colchester brooch dating to the 1st century AD, c.25-65 AD.
