Description: | A La Tène III type, Nauheim derivative type, copper-alloy Iron Age brooch from the 1st Century BC - 1st Century AD. This brooch is incomplete; it is missing the pin. This brooch is a one-piece brooch with a sprung mechanism, none of which survives. The bow is slender and wide, and is decorated with a close together band of horizontal incised lines. The bow tapers to the end with the catchplate. There is no foot-knob on the end of the bow. The length measurement relates to the entire length of the brooch. The brooch is light greyish-green in colour. A similar example can be seen in Hattatt, 2000, pp290, Fig. 149.
