Description: | Incomplete La Tene 1Bc brooch of Iron Age date, circa 400 to 200 BC. The brooch is cast in copper alloy, with a separate, external bi-lateral spring. The four coil spring is wound around a separate axis bar, and there is a worn break where the pin would have extended from this spring. The top of the brooch is narrow, and hooked around the axis bar, giving the impression that it is part of the spring. The spring is 11.51mm long, with a diameter of 6.1mm. The thin bow is an oval ?leaf-shape? with a D shaped profile. The upper surface of the bow is decorated with three wide oval bands, with the outer bands slightly pronounced. There is a worn break at the base of the bow, and the catch is missing. The surviving section of brooch is 24.01mm long, with a maximum thickness of 10.61, taking the arch of the bow into account. The maximum width is across the centre of the bow, measuring 11.51mm. The brooch has an even mid green patina and the surface is fairly worn. | 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: | -400
