Description: | Copper alloy brooch. Cast Colchester derivative brooch, Mackreth type CD H 9.c. Plain tubular wings retain an axis bar for a hinged pin, possibly of drawn wire. The wings are clasped by a bow of oval section with a series of three rectangular cut-outs; though apt to receive enamel there is no trace of colorant in these. The bow tapers to a plain foot with the stub of a folded catch plate behind it. The type could be known as the Lincolnshire Enamelled, and probably originated in the region. Suggested date: Early Roman, 75-130.Length: 33.7mm, Width: 25.0mm, Thickness (crest of bow): 5.3mm, Weight: 6.59gms.
