Description: | A copper alloy Roman bow brooch, Colchester derivative type. It has a double pierced lug, with a coil of six springs around the axis bar, held within a semi-cylindrical wing case. The bow is D-sectioned, with a flat back and a central longitudinal groove. The foot and catchplate are missing, as is the pin, due to old breaks. The brooch measures 30.94mm in surviving length, 19.04mm in width, and weighs 5.14g. Similar examples from Hatcheston are illustrated in Blagg et al, (2004, fig.64, nos 91, 98).
