Description: | Incomplete La Tene I brooch, missing end of foot, pin and most of spring (old breaks). Half of the first coil of the spring survives, and has some iron staining. This then swells out and arches up into a heavy solid oval-section bow, at its most measuring 5 x 7 mm in cross-section. There is no decoration on the bow. The bow then tapers and curves back down again to form the foot. This has a grooved extension to one side which forms the catch for the pin; beyond this it begins to curve back up again towards a broken-off terminal. Total surviving length 49 mm, height of curved bow 20 mm. Similar to Hattatt no. 725, which is dated to the 4th or 3rd century BC. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | -300
