Description: | A damaged and incomplete wrought copper-alloy Iron Age La T??ne III, Nauheim derivative brooch dating to the 1st century BC/AD. The pin has been broken and the lower bow and catchplate have both been bent. Typical of this one-piece brooch type, the spring has four coils and the chord internal; the coil which would have continued into the pin has also been lost. The bow is in the form of an asymmetrical lozenge, expanding just beyond the spring before tapering gradually towards the catchplate. It is relatively flat in profile but has been bent slightly. It is decorated with an incised line down its longitudinal centre, abutting which punched facing triangles on either side. A border may be delineated by further incised lines. As the bow nears the foot it has been bent through ninety degrees. As well as being bent the catchplate is also considerably abraded. This artefact has corroded to a variable mid-green colour. | Subjects: | La T??ne III | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
