Description: | An incomplete, cast, copper alloy Colchester one-piece brooch dating to the mid first century AD. The head comprises two rectangular wings with small, semi-circular end plates. The remains of a small hook to secure the overhead chord are visible. Only a small portion of the plain, D-sectioned bow remains and none of the catchplate. The wear means that the bow tapers very quickly to a point. It is possible that the brooch has been deliberately cut, in the same way as a Polden Hill type brooch recorded by the PAS from the same site. The object is in very poor condition, is 16mm long, 21mm wide, 9mm thick and weighs 2.97g.
