Title
BROOCH
Description
English:

An incomplete cast copper-alloy Colchester one-piece brooch dating to the Iron Age (c. AD25-60). The brooch comprises the wings, hooks and bow. The spring, pin and catchplate are missing.

The wings are flay and slightly rounded in section. The right hand wing is shorter than the left and bent backwards. The forward facing hook is slightly bent to the left. The bow is completely bent and the end of the bow is doubled over forming a hook. This looks deliberate and might have been reuse after the object was no longer serviceable as a brooch.



Most of the surfaces have light green patina with some patches of brown.
