Description: | A copper alloy Aucissa derivative brooch, possibly a Bagendon type, of Late Iron Age to early Roman date (c. AD 20 - 75). The pin is missing. The brooch measures 54.68mm in length, 15.07mm maximum width, 1.31mm minimum width, is 8.47mm thick and weighs 3.81g.The head exhibits two cylindrical wings rolled forwards to house the axis bar for the hinged pin mechanism. The wings are divided by a central V-shaped pin slot. The head tapers from a width of 15.07mm into the top of the bow which measures 8.17mm in width. The bow tapers along its length and is decorated by a series of three parallel longitudinal lenticular grooves, the middle one of which is incised with a series of downward pointing chevrons. The bottom of the bow exhibits an incised horizontal line, below whcih are two semi-circular notches placed one on each long edge, below which is another horizontal groove. The bow then continues to taper into the foot whcih terminates in a D-shaped knop incised with two parallel horizontal grooves. The catchplate extends from the reverse of the foot and terminates in an incomplete rolled pin rest.Cf. Hattatt, 2007, p. 318, no. 839 & p. 319, no. 67.
