BROOCH
Unique ID: HAMP-0B0F63
The head and upper bow from a broken cast copper-alloy Roman Colchester derivative brooch with a double pierced lug spring attachment, dating to the 1st century AD. The double pierced lug is situated behind the head as is characteristic of this type. The axis bar, chord and sprung pin are all missing. The wings are curved, up to 6.2mm wide and extend for c. 6.6mm on each side of the head, with abrasions at the tips. The broken bow has a flat semicircular cross-section, with a flat lower surface. At its end is a central ridge that extends into the lug after a step down. The bow is 10.4mm wide at the back of the head and tapers to a width of 3.9mm at the point at which it has broken. This brooch now has a dull, variable light-green patina with areas of both lighter and darker corrosion product.
