Description: | An incomplete copper alloy Roman two-piece Colchester brooch. The head is open to the rear holding a spring with a central axial bar and a chord, both held by an integral lug.

Both ends of the head are damaged and part of the spring and the pin are missing. Similar examples are illustrated by Bayley and Butcher (2004, p.84, fig.63), who date this type to the mid 1st century AD (ibid. p.157).Length: 39 .0mm, width: 16.0mm, thickness: 2.0mm, weight: 3.86g
