Description: | Copper alloy Brooch with iron axis bar. Hinged Colchester Derivative, Mackreth type CD H 5.d/CD H5.k. . Cast tubular wings, apparently plain and cast as a tube, retain an iron axis bar evidenced by corrosion retaining the stub of a hinged pin. The wings are clasped by a rounded section bow which appears plain except for a pair of short incised lines converging on its crest. These qualify the brooch for Mackreth's type CD H 5.d; if the bow was originally plain it would be CD H5.k. He notes that some of these brooches exhibit a dolphin like profile. There is the stub of a folded catch plate behind the plain foot. Suggested date: Early Roman, 75-125.Length: 36.1mm, Width: 26.4mm, Thickness (crest of bow): 5.7mm, Weight: 8.27gms.
