Description: | A slightly corroded but complete wrought copper-alloy Iron Age/Roman La T??ne III, Nauheim derivative brooch dating to the 1st century AD. Typical of this one-piece brooch type, the spring has four coils and the chord internal (W.: 11.9mm); the coil continues into the pin which has become fragile. The solid, plain bow is circular in cross-section. It rises up from the head giving the brooch a maximum height of c. 17.2mm. It curves through c. 135 degrees and travels gradually downwards towards the catchplate, curving as it reaches the catchplate. As it travels it tapers from a maximum width of 3.75mm at the head to 2.6mm at the catchplate. The catchplate is diminutive, sub-triangular, with a groove for the pin. 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 |
