Description: | A copper-alloy La T??ne III type brooch of late Iron Age to early Roman date (see R. Hattatt; 1987; pp. 21).
The brooch has been made in one piece. The head consists of four coils of spring and an internal chord. One of these coils would have extended into the now-missing pin. The central spring coil extends downwards into the bow, which has flat surfaces, increases to a maximum width of 8.2mm, before tapering towards the foot. The upper surface is decorated with two incised vertical lines, which divide the surface of the bow into three roughly equal strips. The brooch appears to be broken off at the foot, removing all trace of the catchplate.
The object measures 58.3mm long, up to 13.1mm wide (at the head) and 6.6mm thick. The weight is 5.14g. | Subjects: | La T??ne III | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
