Description: | Incomplete early Roman cast copper alloy Colchester two-piece derivative brooch. Only the head and upper part of the bow survives. The wings are rectangular in plan and are curved, almost 'C' shaped, in profile. The brooch is heavily corroded, however some vertical lines of decoration are just visible on the wings. The reverse of the head has a pin lug and forward facing hook, which would have been used to secure the chord and axis bar of the now missing sprung pin. The surviving section of the bow is curved, and no decoration is visible due to corrosion.The brooch is 26.45 mm long and weighs 12.71 grams. It is 34.46 mm wide across the wings and 11.47 mm thick. The upper section of the bow is 12.55mm wide and 6.28mm thick.
