Description: | A damaged and incomplete cast copper-alloy Roman Colchester derivative (two-piece) brooch dating AD 55-100. The head of the brooch has both wings intact; they are shallowly curved. Only half spring mechanism survives to one side; four coils and half of the chord. Half of the iron axis bar also survives corroded in situ. The bow curves in a smooth arc and tapers towards the foot. Just above the flattened head are four small transversely incised lines. These are echoed by further fine, dense transverse lines at the foot. The catch-plate survives well and has a web extending for 24.6mm. The fold is 15.55mm long. This brooch has a dark-brown patina with some pitting and corrosion. The foot has been bent very slightly to one side.
