Description: | A slightly corroded but complete wrought copper-alloy Iron Age/Roman La Tène III, Nauheim derivative brooch dating to the 1st century AD. Atypically for this one-piece brooch type, the spring only has three coils with the chord internal (W.: 10.4mm); the coil continues into the pin which survives well. The coil to one side may have been bent downwards slightly as a result of old damage. The plain bow is triangular in form and of rectangular cross-section, and is arched in profile (max. W.: 4.3mm). It tapers to the sub-triangular catch-plate which has a rounded fold that survives well. This artefact has corroded to a red-brown colour with some traces of light-green corrosion product. Where it survives, traces of the patina are blacker in colour.
