Description: | A copper-alloy Colchester brooch of Late Iron Age to Early Roman date.One of the wings is damaged; the intact example is of thin, flat section, with straight sides. A remnant of the integrally cast spring projects from the centre of the head's underside, with a folded rearward lug above. Adhering to the underside of the head is a significant amount of iron corrosion, indicating that, although originally a one-piece brooch, an iron spring was later added, probably as a repair. The bow is of oval section, tapering to a pointed foot, on the underside of which there is a small remnant of the catchplate. The brooch is distorted and heavily corroded.Dimensions: length: 52.6mm; width at head: 13.6mm wide. Weight: 5.38g.
