Description: | Late Iron Age/ Early Roman copper alloy simple one-piece or Nauheim derivative type brooch. It measures 47.14mm in length and weighs 7.05g.
The head consists of nine spring coils (one of which extends into the intact pin) and is 20.11mm wide. The chord passes under the bow.
The bow is rectangular in section (3.74x2.44mm) in front of the spring, flattening to 8.44x1.76 at the centre. The sides then narrow into the lower bow, which is 2.14mm wide, to give a triangular flat centre of bow. This area is decorated with a grooved V stretching from each corner of the widest part with four transverse ribs below. The catchplate extends behind the lowest of these ribs and the foot at the bottom of the bow kicks forwards slightly (2.28x3.31x1.3mm).
The bow does not take the typical form of the simple one-piece, which is usually either rod or flat. This appears to be a combination of the two. Simple one-piece brooches date to the 1st century AD. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Hinds, Katie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
