Description: | An incomplete heavily abraded cast copper alloy Colchester derivative brooch of Roman date (43-150AD). The wings are lost being broken at the junction with the bow. The spring and pin are also lost. The bow head is hump-like, and angular (comma shaped) in profile. The profile is distorted by movement in the soil. The bow is D shaped in cross section. It extends to a broken edge above the catchplate; the break is fresh. The catchplate is formed from a rib that extends from the mid point of the bow. The brooch is too damaged to assess decoration. The brooch is a light green colour with an abraded and corroded patina.The brooch measures 33.1mm length, 11.1mm width (across wings), 6.7mm width across bow, is 3.9mm thick across the bow, and weighs 7.05 grams. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
