Romano-British, copper alloy Colchester derivative brooch of the Polden Hills type.

Roman copper alloy bow brooch of Dolphin or Polden Hill type and dating to the 1st century AD. The brooch is incomplete, missing the lower bow, the majority of the wings and the spring. The brooch employed a spring mechanism secured by either a rearward claw or a Polden Hill arrangement, since the wing terminals no longer survive it is now difficult to determine which type of arrangement was used. The head of the bow is comparatively large (12.5x14.5mm) and was decorated with a central raised V-shaped crest, possibly covered in punched marks. The bow has a D-shaped section and emerges…

This is a cast, copper alloy object that is probably Roman and may be a fragment of a brooch. The object is discoid but has a projection to one side, from which it has clearly broken off a larger item. The break is worn. On one side the disc is dished with a raised centre; it is possible that there was once enamel in the channel surrounding this. The projection also looks decorative and may also have been enamelled. The other side of the object is flat, with a circular feature in the centre of the disc that may evidence of a fixing for a pin or lug. The disc is 10mm diameter.
