Description: | Incomplete small copper alloy Roman Colchester-derivative rearhook type brooch. The fragment consists of the head, wings and bow with part of the catchplate remaining at the foot. The wings have a diagonal groove decoration at either end and the bow has a raised centreline ridge running down its full 26mm length. There is a grooved chevron decoration that extends from a point halfway along the bow towards the head and the junction of the wings. The head is peaked at the forwardmost point over the head, which is probably all that remains of the hook for the spring chord. The spring cover on the underside of the wings is 28.5 mm long and is part-cylindrical in section. Circa 43-130AD.
