Description: | An incomplete late iron age or Roman simple one piece (??Nauheim derivative??) brooch. The brooch consists of a spring connected to an internal chord and a bow which is convex in profile and broadly circular in section, becoming flatter towards the catchplate at the foot. The catchplate has an integral pin rest on one side. The spring has three complete turns and is broken on the fourth. Consequently the pin is missing. The break does not appear to be recent.
The brooch is 44.2mm long, 11.2mm wide, and 19mm from front to back. It has a mass of 5.1g. The brooch has a well developed green patina and other than the missing pin, it is in very good condition. In her ??Roman Brooch Timeline??, Worrell dates Nauheim derivative brooches of AD 25-100. | Subjects: | Nauheim Derivative | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Slarke, Duncan - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
