Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy Colchester (one-piece) brooch, dating from the Late Iron Age to Early Roman period.The wings comprise a pair of flat-sectioned tabs which are narrower than the spring. The spring, consisting of five coils, appears to be intact; however, one of these inner coils has broken on its underside, resulting in the loss of the original pin, which has subsequently been replaced. An axis bar has also been added at the time of this repair, passing through the loop of the new pin. On top of the head, an external chord passes through a strap-like rearward lug. The bow has an oval cross section, is arched at the top and tapers to a pointed foot. There is no trace of a catchplate and the lower half of the replaced pin is also missing.Length: 43.7mm; width: 16.5mm; depth: 18.2mm. Weight: 6.79g.
