Description: | Iron Age La Tene III one-piece bow brooch. The wide, flat bow is an elongated leaf-shape with a rectangular cross section. The coiled spring has a suqare cross section. Only two turns of the spring survive, and the pin is missing. The foot of the brooch bends slightly backwards, with the solid triangular catchplate extending along the length. The upper surface of the bow is decorated with an incised design in the form of a wavy line. The brooch is 5mm long, 6mm across at the widest point, and has a thickness of 15mm, which takes into account the arch of the bow. The weight of the brooch is unknown due to original recording conditions. | 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: | -50
