The bow and catchplate of an Iron Age brooch. The expanded hollow bow is worn smooth but there is incised ornament consisting of diagonal lines, or infilled triangles, at its upper and lower extremities. Below the bow is the catchplate and from this the foot bends around and terminates in a zoomorphic snouted terminal. The spring (probably four coil) and pin are both missing.

A late Iron Age to early Roman copper-alloy Colchester one-piece brooch. The brooch consists of a long bow (58 mm in length) which would have originally bowed in a continuous curve, although it is now damaged and bent out of shape. The wings of the brooch are 14 mm wide. The head of the brooch would have originally had an integral sping and over-head chord hook. However the chord hook is broken and the spring, which would have been located under the rear of the chord hook, is missing. Very little of the brooch's catch plate remains. The brooch is similar to an example illustrated in Ha…

Fragment of Roman bow brooch, possibly a British copy of an Aucissa because of its potentially widely curving bow. Its foot is also similar to an example in Hattatt (no.1496). The fragment is 27mm long and consists of the lower bow, foot and catchplate. At the break, the bow is 6mm wide and tapers to 4mm where the foot extends. At this point the catchplate extends backwards, behind the foot. The foot expands to a damaged 6mm over 12mm. The bow is decorated with a deep groove either side of a flat central ridge decorated with tiny horizontal incised lines. Below this are two more gro…

Fragment of Roman bow brooch, possibly an Aucissa 'strip bow', Langton Down or Colchester type. The fragment is straight and 26mm long, with an even width of 7.5mm. At the base of the bow it is broken slightly on one side. The bow is decorated with two shallow but wide grooves flanking each edge. One of these at least appears to have been decorated with rocker-arm. On the reverse of the bow the catchplate is rather thin and the curl is damaged. It is not openwork. However where the catchplate joins the reverse of the bow it is thicker and the bow reverse shows where it has been wor…
