Description: | An incomplete copper alloy La T??ne I type brooch, dating from circa 4th ?? 3rd century BC.
The spring and head of the brooch are missing and the break is very worn. The bow is arched and tapers outwards from the head and then inwards from the swollen centre. The bow has a circular cross-section. The bow then continued into the foot. The foot is broken, but would have bent around on itself and looped up under the main bow. The catchplate is therefore also missing. The pin the missing.
The metal is pitted and is a light greyish-green colour. This brooch is similar to examples in Hattatt, 2000, p288, fig: 147 and Hattatt, 1985, p11, Fig: 3. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
