Brooch
An incomplete, cast miniature (?) object, imitating a bow brooch, probably a Colchester derivative. The head of the brooch comprises two hemispherical section wings and an incomplete lug intended to hold the axial rod. There is no spring or pin. The bow of the brooch is triangular in section and characterised by a central, longitudinal rib running its length. It tapers to a point, mid-bow, where it is broken. No catch plate remains. This is the largest of the miniature brooches in the assemblage and it is possible that it originally functioned as a brooch. However, it is very similar in style to the other miniature objects and has therefore been grouped with them. Late first or early second century AD.
