Fragment of late Iron Age or early Roman copper-alloy brooch, probably a Nauheim or Nauheim derivative. It consists of a flat, triangular bow, now a little bent, tapering from 7.5mm wide at the top with straight sides to a pointed tip with a tiny upturned bump. There is a groove down the centre and either edge; all the grooves peter out before the end of the brooch, and the side grooves have hints of ribbing or beading or punched decoration. Although the foot of the brooch appears complete, as there is absolutely no hint of a catchplate on the smooth reverse, it may be broken and …

Unidentified object made from copper alloy, of uncertain date but possibly Iron Age or Roman. It appears to have been cast, but may have been hammered together from a rod of sub-circular or sub-rectangular cross-section. If so, the rod was bent in half, with a rounded loop at the bend (3.3mm internal diameter). The two halves then join (with a groove between them) before separating again. One prong is broken off after the fork, but the other diverges in a straight line, then begins to curve before a break. Both breaks are very worn. The resulting object measures 33mm from the loop…

Fragment of copper-alloy late Iron Age or Roman bow brooch, consisting of the very end of the foot only, with part of a perforated catchplate. The rounded-section bow is very narrow at just 2.4mm wide. On the reverse, the catchplate could be described as perforated (or pierced) or framed, in that the (now incomplete) triangular perforation neatly follows the line of the edge of the catchplate. One side is turned over to the left (when viewing the brooch from the reverse). The breaks are worn. The surviving length of the bow is 10.7mm, less than that of the catchplate; th…

Head and top of bow from a copper-alloy Roman brooch of Langton Down type, dating to c. 25-c. 60 AD. The head is formed from a thin sheet cylinder, complete on the left side (looking from the front) but the front missing on the right. There is no trace of decoration on the front of the head, but a seam can just about be seen along the reverse, with the slot for the pin in the centre. The inside of the head is filled with hard corrosion products, probably from an iron spring bar. The D-section bow tapers from 11.2mm wide at the top to 7.2mm wide at the broken end. It has a rid…

Largely complete copper-alloy Colchester one-piece brooch of late Iron Age to early Roman date (c. 20-c. 65 AD). The bow is oval in cross-section, with no decoration surviving. At the top are a pair of rectangular, flat-section wings, with a long forward-facing hook above. The hook still retains the chord of the spring, half of which survives, with three coils on the right (as you look at the reverse). The left-hand end of the spring, and the pin, are missing along with any axis bar. The bow tapers downwards towards a missing foot (fairly old break), with a stub of catchplate on t…
