Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy La Tene 1B brooch of Iron Age date. The surviving portion of the one-piece La Tene type I brooch measures 27.1mm by 13.8mm by 5.1mm and weighs 3.5g. It comprises the bow and one twist of the spring. The pin, catchplate and terminal are missing. The bow's cross-section is broadly D-shaped with the flatter side facing inwards. The exterior face of the bow is decorated with a longitudinal line of stamped triangles, set close together with points inwards to form a zig-zag design. Several similar (although undecorated) brooches are illustrated in Hattatt's 'Visual Catalogue' (e.g. nos. 724 and 725, both from Britain but not more precisely provenanced).
