Copper alloy brooch. Cast bow and fantail brooch, Mackreth type CD RH 7 [though not closely paralleled by his series]. Rectangular wings which are hollowed behind retain a blob of solder at either end of a concave reverse and are surmounted by the stub of a rearward-facing hook to retain a spring [lost]. The bow is constricted below the wings and then expanded to accommodate a large mid-bow roundel with a central dimple and two deep concentric grooves around it. Below the mid-bow a plain fantail foot expands to sub-triangular form with the stub of a catch plate behind it. The foot is p…

Incomplete, heavily corroded, and eroded copper alloy Colchester Derivative Rearhook type brooch. The brooch is missing the foot of the bow, catchplate, spring, and pin. The wings are eroded at the edges and have a shallow C-shaped cross-section, there is a tiny trace of solder to the underside of the left (as viewed from above) wing. The rearhook is reduced to a stub from which the bow forms a raised mid-rib that runs medially down its surviving length. Any decoration on the bow is obscured by pitting corrosion. The bow terminates in an abrupt bend, after…

Copper alloy brooch. Cast Colchester derivative brooch of rearhook-fastening type, Mackreth type CD RH 5.d. The relict of semi-circular plain wings hollowed behind is clasped by a rectangular-section bow with two longitudinal ridges passing down it, with a shallow gutter between them and a groove to either side. The stub of a catch plate remains behind the plain foot of the bow. This fastening convention, and perhaps the squared section of the bow, may both mark this as a product of an Iceni craftsman. Suggested date: Early Roman, 50-100. Length: 44.2mm, Width: 22.2mm, Thickness (cres…

Copper alloy brooch. Cast Colchester derivative rear-hook fastening brooch, Mackreth type CD RH 4.a. A curved hollow plate to retain the spring [lost] has patches of rust adhering from the loss of a presumably iron spring and forms wings which bear a single groove at either end. The rectangular section bow clasps the wings and has three pronounced longitudinal ridges with deep gutters between them; the central ridge formerly extended to form a rearward-facing hook retaining the spring. The bow tapers to a plain foot and retains the stub of a catch plate behind. The rear-hook faste…

Copper alloy brooch fragment. Cast bow and fantail brooch, Mackreth type TR 4.1b1. A central mid-bow plate bears a moulded ring with central and outer cells apt to retain enamel, above a triangular fantail foot retaining a worn folded catch plate behind it. A central groove or channel may again have been to retain enamel, though no trace of colorant remains. The central decoration of a fantail bow is thought by Mackreth (2011, vol. 1 p. 127) to be a feature linking the fantail feature favoured by the Corieltauvi of the East Midlands to rear hook fastened brooches with East Anglian Ice…

An incomplete Roman copper alloy Colchester derivative, rear hook brooch dating to the period circa 43-65 AD. The artefact consists of a hemi-spherically sectioned winged head which is plain on its outer face. One of the wings has broken. The reverse of the left wing contains significant iron corrosion indicative of a blob of soldering consistent with the rearhook design. The rearward-facing hook has broken away and only a short protrusion now remains, situated at the top of the bow. The bow is 'D' shaped in section and rounded in plan with straight edges. It demonstrates significant…

An incomplete Roman copper alloy brooch dating to the period circa 50-100 AD. The artefact consists of the wings, bow and catchplate of a rearhook brooch. Its spring and pin are missing. The artefact is T-shaped in plan and L-shaped in section, with the junction between the wings and the bow elongated and flat. Each wing contains two reeled mouldings. Extending from the upper edge of the head towards the rear is the remains of a small integral hook, L-shaped in section, which would have held the pin fitting in place originally. The reverse of the wings are hemispherical owing to the m…

Plain semi-circular wings are clasped by a broad D-section bow with a central longitudinal ridge which is cross-cut or billeted. The ridge is broken at its upper end, where a hook is suggested to have clasped the separate spring [lost]; blobs of solder in the ends of the wings reassured the fastening. The foot and catch plate are lost. Suggested date: Early Roman, 60-100 Length: 24.6mm, Width: 17.6mm, Thickness (crest of bow): 3.5mm, Weight: 3.71gms

Copper alloy brooch. Cast Colchester derivative brooch, probably a rearhook spring fastened type, Mackreth type CD RH 1.i. Semi-circular concavo-convex wings retain a white blob of fixative for attachment of a spring [lost]; their irregular surfaces suggest overall moulding. The bow is of rounded section with a broad front and borders to either side. The stub of a catch plate remains behind the lower bow. Fiercely abraded. It is presumed a rearward hook has been lost from the top of the bow. If this identification were sustained, it might suggest a connection with the Iceni tribe with…

Copper alloy brooch. Cast Colchester derivative brooch, Mackreth type CD RH 4.k.

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.
