Description: | A La T??ne III type, Nauheim derivative type, copper-alloy Iron Age brooch from the 1st Century BC - 1st Century AD. This brooch is incomplete; it is missing the pin. This brooch is a one-piece brooch with a sprung mechanism. Two turns of the spring survive. The bow is slender and wide, and is decorated with two parallel incised lines. The bow tapers to the end with the catchplate. There is no foot-knob on the end of the bow. The length measurement relates to the entire length of the brooch. The brooch is dark brownish-green in colour. A similar example can be seen in Hattatt, 2000, pp290, Fig. 149. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Taylor, Jeff | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
