Description: | Copper alloy Brooch. Copper alloy Brooch. Possibly a Colchester Derivative/Polden Hill brooch, cf. Mackreth (2011, page 101) CD H/PH 1.a, though this example lacks panelled decoration of the upper bow. Tubular wings with a single groove at their ends clenched behind to retain an axis bar for a hinged pin (now lost); the wings are surmounted by an integrally cast loop. The rounded section upper bow tapers towards a petalled mid bow moulding recalling the decoration of trumpet brooches, which it must imitate. The bow below the knop tapers to a simple pedestal foot with a folded catch plate behind it. Suggested date: Early Roman, 75-150.Length: 33.7mm, Width: 15.3mm, Thickness (crest of bow): 4.1mm, Weight: 5.3gms
