Description: | An almost complete (but broken) Nauheim Derivative bow brooch, apart from the very tip of the catchplate. The spring has snapped causing the seperation of the pin. The tapered strip bow lies over the spring chord which is bi-lateral and constists of 4 coils. The bow gradually broadens as it passes over the chord then slowly tapers to a knife-edge point. The small catchplate is solid and triangular in shape. The brooch has been vigourously polished and no patina survives. Similar to Hattatt (2012) 290, fig. 149, no. 12, Hawkes and Hull (1949) Colchester type VII, p. 312-313, pl. CXII, nos. 56-57. 1st century BC - 1st century AD.
