Description: | Copper alloyBrooch. Cast Colchester Derivative Brooch with hinged pin. Tubular wings are clenched to retain the axis bar for a cast pin which is flattened where it pivots. A D-section bow bears five ribs of reeded decoration on its upper part. This ends at its mid point with the uppermost of two adjacent rectangular rebates. A groove is carried past either side of these panels, the pair ending above the foot. The back of the bow is flattened to form an unpierced catch-plate of the same thickness as the bow; a basal spur from the catch plate is turned to provide a tiny foot. The solid catch plate, rebates or slots on the bow, and plain wings all associate this with Mackreth (2011) CD H Type 9, East Midlands Enamelled, most frequently reported from Lincolnshire. The dating is probably Early Roman, 75-130; the upper bow ornament may hint at the early part of the range.Length: 34.3mm, Width: 19.4mm, Thickness (crest of bow): 5.5mm, Weight: 7.40gms.
