Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy Roman Colchester derivative double pierced lug bow brooch. It is missing the spring, pin, and lower half of the brooch due to old breaks. The wings are semi-cylindrical in form, undecorated, and separated at their centre by an integrally cast double pierced lug. This holds in place a small fragment from a separately cast copper-alloy spring chord, but the remainder of the spring and pin are missing due to old breaks. The bow is oval in section with slightly flattened head, undecorated, and tapers to old breaks. It has a dark green patina and the entire object measures 16.06mm in length, 24.47mm in width (at wings, 7.05mm in width at bow), 2.47mm in thicknes at bow, and 4.32g in weight.This is an incomplete Roman Colchester deriative double pierced lug bow brooch. It finds parallels in examples from Hacheston (Blagg et al., 2004: no. 104) and is of 1st century AD date, c.43-100 AD.
