Description: | A cast copper-alloy Colchester-derivative brooch of the early Roman period, AD c. 43-c. 75.The brooch is largely complete, missing only the shaft of the hinged pin. The wings have moulded decoration consisting of four broad bands separated by a narrow recessed line. The outer/upper surface of the bow is plain. The catchplate is complete and retains an openwork cell, roughly triangular shaped. The base of the pin's spring sticks out from a rectangular slot in the back of the head, however, the pin has broken off in antiquity. Part of the catch plate lip remains.
