Description: | Incomplete, worn and bent copper alloy Late Iron Age La Tene III type brooch, missing its pin and part of the catchplate.The bow has been bent backwards so the brooch appears rather back-to-front. There are four coils (one of which is incomplete where the pin has broken off) and the thread curves around the back and below the coils.The bow is circular in section and narrows from 2mm to 1.5mm in diameter where it extends into the catchplate. The remains of the catchplate have been bent up alongside the bow, ??possibly in antiquity after damage to the catchplate. The remains of the catchplate measure 5mm and max 3.5mm deep.The brooch is 45mm in length, the coils giving a width of 11mm. Weighs 4.07g.1st century BC/ 1st century AD.
