Description: | Copper alloyBrooch. Cast hinged bow and fantail brooch. Tubular wings with a single incised line at their terminals enclose an axis bar for a hinged pin (now lost). An arched and tightly curved bow of rounded section surmounts the wings; it is possible a top loop has been lost from the crest of bow. The bow then tapers to a collar, below which a plain fantail bears the stub of a catch-plate on its back. Fantail Colchester Derivatives are noted from Dragonby and Old Winteringham (as in Mackreth [2011] CDH Type 7), though these are usually more richly decorated than this example, whose upper parts retain the plain finish of many local dolphin brooches. Suggested date: Early Roman, 80-150.Length: 30.4mm, Width: 30.0mm, Thickness (crest of bow): 6.7mm, Weight: 8.76gms.
