Copper alloy brooch. Cast Colchester derivative brooch, Mackreth type CD RH 4.k. Plain semi-circular wings, open behind and with solder traces at one end woithin, are clasped by a plain bow of rounded section which is surmounted by a rearward facing hook. The bow tapers to a plain foot with a folded catch plate pierced by a small [diameter 1.5mm] hole. The rearhook fastening is associated with the Iceni tribe, and this type may pre-date the Boudiccan revolt of AD61, which was followed by severe reprisals and probably a diaspora of the survivors. Suggested date: Early Roman, 50-60
