Description: | An incomplete copper alloy Roman brooch, a Colchester Derivative type similar in style to Polden Hill examples but not fitting the type exactly. The brooch consists of the spring casing and arms, with pierced end-caps to hold the spring axel, as is seen on Polden Hill types. The spring wire loop at the head of the brooch is mostly missing. The bow of the brooch beginson the lower section of the head, not tapering from the head which is usual on British brooches of the Polden Hill type. The bow is a thin, undecorated oval sectioned wire, which in its current condition terminates at about three-quarters of its (likely) original length. The bow does not narrow as is usual. No catchplate survives.
