Description: | The brooch is a Colchester One-Piece Brooch, which is a La Tene III Nauheim derivative. These brooches date to the late 1st century BC to the late 1st century AD. It is made from cast copper alloy.
The spring is formed by four coils and an internal chord. The pin is missing. The bow is flat and is a sub- elongated pointed oval in plan. Along the two long edges of the bow are a column of stamped rectangular cells as decoration. The lower tip of the bow is missing, and therefore the catch-plate as well.
The brooch has a dark grey/green coloured patina. It weighs 1.73g, and measures 32mm long from the coil to the broken lower tip of the bow, and 10mm across the coils. | 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: | -75
