Description: | Incomplete copper-alloy brooch of late Iron Age to early Roman date. A European brooch, probably of Knotenfilbeln type. The bow is divided into two sections by a decorative moudled collar. The upper section extends gradually outwards from this collar, reaching a maximum width of 6.6mm at the head, before tapering inwards to form the now-missing spring coils. This upper section has a flat underside and slightly convex upper surface and is up to 1.6mm thick. The lower half of the brooch is narrower, tapering from 2.8mm, just below the central moulding, to a point at the foot. It is semi-circular in section. The foot is damaged and there is only a remnant of the open catchplate. A casting join can be seen running down the length of the brooch. It measures 34.7mm high by up to 6.6mm wide and 3.6mm thick (at the collar). The weight is 2.48g.
