Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy Roman Colchester derivative double pierced lug bow brooch. It is missing the spring, pin and catchplate due to old breaks. The wings are semi-cylindrical in form, undecorated and separated at their centre by a rear facing double pierced lug. The bow is oval shaped in section, undecorated and taper slightly towards a flattened foot. On the back face of the foot are the remains of an integrally cast catchplate, possibly originally pierced, although this is uncertain due to the preservation of the object. The entire brooch has a green patina and measures 35.31mm in length, 19.05mm in width at wings, 5.55mm in width at bow, 2.51mm in thickness at bow and 4.25g in weight.This is a Roman Colchester derivative double pierced lug bow brooch similar to examples from Hacheston (Blagg et al., 2004: nos. 106, 110). It is of 1st century AD date, c.43-100 AD.
