Description: | Copper alloy and iron brooch. Hinged Colchester derivative brooch, Mackreth type CD H 9.a. Plain tubular wings were formerly clenched behind to retain an iron axis bar for a hinged pin [now lost]. A tapered bow of thick sub-ovoid section is indented to either side at its top, and has five horizontal steps or notches along its length, and tapers towards a plain foot and the stub of a catch plate. The object is heavily worn, but the relief decoration of the bow seems distinct from the fewer and more regular compartments with which the usual 'East Midlands enamelled' brooch form is equipped. Suggested date: Early Roman, 75-130.Length: 29.6mm, Width: 23.5mm, Thickness (crest of bow): 5.8mm, Weight: 4.51gms.
