Description: | Cast copper alloy brooch dating from the Late Iron Age to Early Roman period. The head resembles the head of a trumpet brooch; the pin extends out of the reverse of the head. The pin appears to have been soldered into a square hole in the head. Below the head, the bow starts as a series of horizontal ridges of alternating thick and narrow ridges, including the central ridge. The central horizontal ridge appears to have been a post-manufacture addition; this is loose, and the join is visible. Below this ridge, the foot begins as a tapering, slightly concave length of copper alloy with low-relief longitudinal ridges. The catchplate begins on the reverse of the foot; it starts as a regular ridge where the foot begins below the horizontal ridges. The catchplate resembles a narrow harp with an opening in the centre. | Subjects: | La Tene III | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Echtenacher, Beth - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
