Description: | An incomplete copper alloy brooch, Colchester derivative (T-shaped type). The wings are semi-cylindrical, being concave on the underside and are relatively long compared to the bow. The bow is rectangular in section, quite narrow and tapers to a blunt point. The front of the bow has two beaded longitudinal ribs separated by a narrow groove and with a groove at either side. The wings have similar decoration, but also include a raised circumferential band at each wing end. Discolouration of the entire brooch suggests that it may have been gilded. The catchplate is missing apart from a tiny fragment. The spring and pin are both missing.Width 29mm, length 44mm, weight 8.29g. The moulded wings and bow decoration probably relate this to the Colchester derivative series.
