Description: | Copper alloy Brooch. Hinged Colchester Derivative, Mackreth type CD H9.c. Cast tubular wings clenched behind to retain an axis bar for a hinged pin (lost). A D-section bow clasps the wings and bears at least three adjoining rectangular cut-outs along the upper bow. Corrosion leaves it uncertain whether, how or how far, this series may continue. The bow tapers towards a foot knurled to suggest a small pedestal foot with a folded catch plate behind it. Fiercely abraded. Mackreth notes this class of brooch might have been termed the Lincolnshire type. Suggested date: Early Roman, 75-125.Length: 42.5mm, Width: 31.4mm, Thickness (crest of bow): 4.1mm, Weight: 9.15gms.
