Description: | An incomplete copper alloy Roman Colchester-derivative brooch, dating to the period c.AD 43 - 100. The pin, part of the spring and part of the catchplate are missing. There is a forward projecting lug which curls upwards positioned in the centre of the head. It houses the corroded remains of the iron axis bar for the pin mechanism. There is an external chord through which the spring would have passed positioned above the lug which curls upwards and tapers to a point at the top of the bow. The rust of thr axis bar has obscured the coils of the spring. The bow tapers along its length to a point and the vestigil catchplate appears to have had a decorative cut-outs.
