Description: | The main part of a La Tene B type brooch, wrought in copper alloy. The spring and pin are missing, along with the upper part of the bow. The bow has a sub-circular cross-section, and thickens in the middle. The bow then curves down and then bends out abruptly into the catch-plate, which is essentially just a groove allowing the pin to sit to one side of the bow. The catch-plate terminates in a small hook. The brooch is undecorated, and basic in design. The stump where the spring has broken off is rounded and quite worn. The surface is pitted and has a mid greyish-green colour. This brooch dates to the 4th to 3rd centuries BC.
