Description: | A copper alloy Roman bow brooch, Colchester derivative hinged type. The wings are folded round to form a cylindrical casing for the axis bar. The pin is in situ, hinged at the centre, but incomplete due to old beraks. The wings are complete and both are ecorated with three grooved lines. Only the upper bow survives and no catchplate is present. The bow is decorated with a deep longitudinal central groove, flanked by two more grooves. The brooch measures 25.93mm in width, 19.98mm in surviving length, and weighs 5.4g. Examples from Hatcheston, Suffolk suggest a date range from 43-150 AD. (Blagg et al 2004, pp96-98, no.116)
