Description: | A copper alloy Hallstatt brooch related to Hull's Class Lx (c.700-400BC). The brooch has a curved, bulbous bow (with a hollow beneath the bow typical of class Lx) and at each end there are three projecting circles each engraved with concentric circles around a central dot (length of each 'arm' 32.68mm). There are two pierced lugs with an axis bar (?iron) for the spring (neither the spring nor the pin are present). The catch-plate is present and consists of a single piece of copper alloy curved over to catch the pin. The brooch has an even, deep green patina. JD Hill suggests a date of Early-Middle Iron Age. | 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: | 800
