Description: | A cast copper-alloy brooch fragment, probably Iron Age. This brooch fragment is possibly from a La Tene I type brooch dated from the 4th to 3rd centuries BC. It consists of a single length of copper-alloy which forms part of the head, bow and footplate of the brooch. It is bowed/arched outwards in a C-shape profile and a section across the metal piece shows that it is semi-rounded at the front but flat to the reverse. The surface of the object and the break edges are extremely worn and show a light green patina. It measures 33.38mm long, 4.98mm wide, is 2.5mm thick and weighs 2.4g. Parallels of the La Tene I type brooches can be found in Hattatt, R. 1985. Iron Age and Roman Brooches, pages10-12. | 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 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
