Description: | Copper alloy Brooch. Hinged Colchester Derivative, Mackreth type CD H 9.c, East Midlands Enamelled. Plain tubular wings with a single incised line around their ends, clenched behind, retained an axis bar for a hinged pin (now lost). These are met by a humped D section bow with a longitudinal ridge along either side, and a pair of rectangular cut-pots below the crest of the bow, with a low moulded feature between them. Both cut-outs retain fragments of enamel, discoloured to an orange tint by either soil staining, or excessive oil with which the object has been treated, or both. The bow tapers towards a tiny pedestal foot - actually just a projection with a folded catch plate behind. Suggested date: Early Roman, 75-125Length: 33.2mm, Width: 21.6mm, Thickness (crest of bow): 6.7mm, Weight: 7.33gms.
