Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy La T??ne I or II type brooch of Iron Age (4th to 1st century BC) date (R. Hattatt; 2000; pp. 288-9).
The brooch is made from a single piece of copper-alloy wire and has been bent into shape. The head extends into two remaining coils of the spring, situated on the left hand side (as you look at it). The bow is circular in section and tapers towards the bottom, where there is a split of uncertain function. The brooch is deep, with a high-arched back creating a deep void into which the folds of material would have fitted.
The object measures 32.8mm high, 6.4mm wide and 15.1mm deep; it weighs 2.02g. | Subjects: | La T??ne I or II | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
