Description: | Incomplete Le Tene type III brooch of copper alloy. The brooch is covered in a green and black patina and the pin, part of the spring and the catch plate are missing. It measures 45x4x26mm and weighs 3.29g.Only one spring of the loop remains. The bow of the brooch is widest at the top and gently tapers towards the spring and foot. It is plain except for two engraved lines forming a point, around two thrids way along its length. Only a small section of the catchplate remains, but appears to have pointed backwards and contained a small perforation. The brooch is similar, though a little larger than the undecorated brooch 12 (Hattatt 1982).La Tene type III brooches date from the 1st century BC to the 1st century AD.
