Description: | Copper alloy La Tene III type bow brooch dating to 1st century BC- 1st century AD.A one-piece early bow brooch. It is mostly complete although the pin has broken just before the end and the catchplate is missing its hooked end. There are three turns in the spring, the wire looping below the spring to form the last loop. The bow is flat in profile, extending out from the head at 90 degrees then going straight down to the catchplate. It narrows towards a point at the foot then the thin, rectangular catchplate extends out at 90 degrees behind the bow.
