Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy Roman Colchester derivative double-pierced lug bow brooch. It is missing most of the bow, foot, catchplate, spring, axis bar and pin due to old breaks. The wings are semi-cylindrical in form and appear undecorated, although slightly faceted and perhaps missing their outer edges due to old breaks or post-depositional wear, and are separated by a rear-facing double-pierced lug. The bow is triangular in section, tapering to old breaks, with a flat back and central vertical rib. The central rib extends forwards from the lug, separated at the head by a shallow notch. To each side the front face of the bow is fluted. This brooch fragment measures 15.37mm in length, 17.51mm in width at wings, 8.14mm in width at bow, 2.68mm in thickness at bow, and weighs 2.54g.This is an incomplete Roman Colchester derivative double-pierced lug bow brooch. It is similar to examples from Hacheston (Blagg et al., 2004: nos. 82, 88) and dates to the 1st century AD, c.43-100 AD.
