Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy La Tene II Iron Age Brooch. The brooch is truncated at one end of the bow and the attachment mechanism is missing. The surviving part of the openwork bow is heart shaped and consists of two conjoined loops that each terminates with a circular setting. Although only the white paste of the setting survives, it may have originally been coral. The integral rectangular sectioned foot tapers from the bow and is cast in a loop to join the front of the bow at the base of the openwork heart. The foot also terminates with the same circular setting that can be seen on the bow. At the back of the foot are probably the remains of a catchplate. The surviving length is 29.8mm, the width is 15.4mm, the thickness is 12.1mm and the weight is 5.61g.
