Description: | An incomplete Late Iron Age/ Early Roman (AD 20-80) copper alloy Colchester one-piece brooch missing most of its (openwork) catchplate, half its coils and pin. It measures 88.79mm in length and weighs 19.02g.The wings, which appear flat to one side and slightly C-shaped in cross-section to the other, span 20.48mm. To the reverse are four coils around a corroded iron axis bar, and a chord which passes through the forward facing hook. It breaks where it would have extended into the missing (broken) coils. The bow is oval in section where it extends from the wings, 7.80x4.06mm. It projects at a horizontal angle before curving and dropping to the foot, 2.34mm wide. To the reverse the catchplate is 32.33mm long and openwork, where it survives.All original patina has been lost.
