Description: | A copper alloy Iron Age brooch, (La Tene III 1st century BC-1st Century AD). The bow has a narrowed, rounded oval section tapering to a pointed foot. In profile it has a continuous gentle curve after the sharp downturn at the head. It is decorated with a line of punched dots which extend along the length of the bow. The coil has two turns present and probably was originally four. The catchplate has a broken perforation at the far end and possible evidence of a contemporary mend. The catchplate is now broken at the line where it would turn to catch the pin and the pin is also now broken and missing. Dark-pale green patina.
The brooch is similar to no. 243 Hattatt Iron Age and Roman Brooches, 1985. pp. 21-24
