Description: | Copper alloy brooch. Cast hinged Colchester Derivative brooch, Mackreth type CD H 8.a. Tubular wings clenched behind retain the stub of a pin. The wings are clasped by a D section bow which tapers towards a plain foot with the stub of an unpierced catch plate. The front of the wings and bow are covered by bead and reel moulding, vertical on the wings and horizontal on the bow; the beading is carried all around the bow below its mid point; it may be lacking at the crest of the bow if this is not merely smoothed by wear. The appearance is of vermiform segmentation. The wings are bent slightly forwards. This type of brooch is thought to have its origins in Norfolk and to have been largely disseminated by water. Suggested date: Early Roman, 75-175. Length: 35.3mm, Width: 27.2mm, Thickness (crest of bow): 4.2mm, Weight: 6.29gms.
