Description: | A corroded fragment from a wrought copper-alloy Iron Age(/Roman) brooch: probably a La Tène III, Nauheim derivative brooch dating to the 1st century AD. Typically for this one-piece brooch type, the spring would have had four coils with the chord internal, but only half of this arrangement survives (W.: 8.4mm); the coil has broken before the coils from which the pin would have emerged. The plain bow is narrow and basic, broadly circular in cross-section, arched in profile (max. W.: 3.3mm). It has broken around halfway along its length. This artefact has corroded to a red-brown colour with a large covering of variable mid-green corrosion product.
