Description: | Copper alloyBrooch. Fragment, possibly of a Colchester derivative Brooch; alternatively this may be from an early Headstud Brooch. A six coil spring is wrapped tightly round an axis bar, and remains of a forward pointing hook secure its chord. Small wings adorn the top of a thin rectangular-section bow, which tapers towards the stub of a catch-plate on reverse. A circular aperture of diameter 2.5mm at the crest of bow may have accommodated a stud (if so, now lost). The display face of the bow appears billeted between its outer borders, and a spot of mid blue enamel may represent a formerly more extensive decorative coating retained by this roughened surface. Suggested Date: Early Roman: 50-200.Length: 40.4mm, Width (spring): 13.8mm, Thickness (bow): 2.6mm, Weight: 2.88gms.
