Description: | Copper alloy La Tene IA brooch. The brooch has an arched bow which thickens towards the middle, and which is ovoid in section. The bow narrows to a point at the junction with the integral spring and pin, which is missing. The other end of the bow develops into the foot with catchplate. The foot terminates in a narrow projection which turns back on itself to touch the underside of the bow, and which terminates in a slightly thickened section. Where the surface of the brooch is unworn, it has an even light green patina, but sections of the surface are worn or corroded, with an uneven brown and very light green patina. La Tene I brooches date to circa 800-350 BC.
