Description: | A cast copper-alloy colchester-derivitive brooch, 43-100.The brooch is largely complete, missing only its pin and some of the catchplate. The head has cylindrical arms, each arm containing 3 evenly spaced grooves each bearing a raised Greek key motif. The bow emerges from the underside of the head and swoops upward before coming to a peak and returning to a more standard bow shape. In profile, it is very similar to a harp. In section, it is sub-square, and the bow is thickest at its peak and tapers to the foot. The side panels of the bow and the centre of the forward face each have a rectangular groove bearing raised Greek key decoration.The catchplate begins approximately at the halfway point on the underside of the bow. There is a rectangular projection near the top of the catchplate, with otherwise is typically shaped for a bow brooch. The curved 'catch' is missing, and there is a circular perforation near the base of the catchplate.
