The brooch has very small, flat rectangular wings separated by the remains of an integrally cast spring and an integral chord hook that extends forward onto the front of the bow. The bow is oval shaped in section and gradually tapers to a pointed foot that is missing its catchplate due to old breaks. The surfaces of the brooch are very worn and pitted with just a few traces of dark green patina visible in places. It measures 67.63mm in current length, 7.10mm in width at bow, 11.65mm in width at wings, 4.03mm in thickness, and weighs 9.42g.This is a Roman Colchester bow brooch similar to examples noted from Hacheston (Blagg et al., 2004: nos. 63-70). It is of 1st century AD date, c.25-60 AD.
