Copper alloy brooch. Cast Colchester derivative brooch, Mackreth 2011, type CD RH 2.g. Curved wings open behind bear incised decoration: a billeted ring around the end of each wing, and a diagonal pair of lines with billeting between them on the display side of each wing. A patch of solder lies in the gutter of the wings, more on one side. They are clasped by a bow of rounded section with a central ridge and a groove to either side of it, the three elements diverging towards the crest. The central ridge is indented at the crest of the bow, here taken as a worn relict of a rearward hook, and is itself billeted towards the foot where it has perhaps sustained less wear. The bow tapers towards a plain foot with the stub of a catch plate behind it. This type is ascribed to the Iceni tribe, either from its members or from a diaspora after the suppression of the Boudiccan revolt. Suggested date: Early Roman, 43-65.
