Description: | Copper alloy Brooch fragment. Hinged Colchester Derivative, cf. Mackreth type CD H5.d. Tubular plain wings clenched behind retain an axis bar for a hinged pin (lost). A flat strip bow meets the bow, and below this thinner (2.5mm) junction thickens slightly and bears a broad central gutter or flute with a ridge either side. The thin strip bow seems a feature drawn from 1st-century brooch types such as the Hod Hill or Langton Down, which may suggest an earlier date than otherwise similar brooches. Abraded. Suggested date: Early Roman, 60-100.Length: 16.2mm, Width: 18.6mm, Thickness (crest of bow at start of decoration): 3mm, Weight: 2.96gms.
