Description: | An Iron Age (La Tene III) copper alloy Nauheim derivative brooch (late 1st century BC-late 1st century AD). The brooch was cast in one piece and has a bilateral spring of four turns with an external chord. The bow is undecorated and flat. It narrows from 7.00mm to 3.69mm towards the foot. The catchplate is solid but emerges from the front of the foot rather than the reverse, and is curved over in the usual style. As such it is not clear how the catchplate would have secured the pin. Mid-green patina.
Dimensions: Length 49.89mm; Width 11.51mm; Thickness 17.23mm; Weight 4.38g | 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
