Description: | An incomplete wrought copper-alloy Iron Age La Tène III type brooch. Typical of this one-piece brooch type, the spring has four coils and the chord internal. Looking at the reverse of the artefact, the centre left coil has suffered a break as a result of old damage. The pin would have been formed by the continuation of this coil; it is therefore now missing. The bow is oval in profile and tapers towards the foot, its sides flattening as it narrows. It extends into the catchplate which survives well. Undecorated with mid-green patina. Iron Age, 1st century BC/AD, Nauheim derivative
