Description: | A copper alloy Roman Colchester-derivative brooch. The lower portion of the bow remains. The bow is broken at the upper edge, and this is probably not a too recent break. In profile, the bow is straight and oval in section. Towards the foot there is four transverse grooves above a bulbous foot. On the reverse of the bow there is an complete catchplate with a triangular openwork. The surface of the brooch has a light grey/green coloured patina. The brooch measures 44.62mm long and 5.08mm wide across the break and weighs 6.2g.The type is uncertain, but probably dates to the mid first to second centuries.
