Description: | Copper alloy Brooch. Cast Hinged Colchester Derivative Brooch, Mackreth type CD H 1f. Semi-tubular wings with bead and reel mouldings, pin gear lost, clasped by a D section bow with paired longitudinal ridges either side of a gutter down the middle of the tapered bow. The lower extent appears billeted of divided by a pattern resembling Greek key ornament, though bubbles here suggest a slightly flawed casting. Behind the lower bow the foot is longitudinally slotted, as if intended to receive a separately made catch plate - possibly again evidence for a problematical casting. Suggested date: Early Roman, 75-150.Length: 43.5mm, Width: 30.9mm, Thickness (crest of bow): 6.3mm, Weight: 10.02gms.
