Description: | A copper alloy Late Iron Age or Early Roman brooch; a Nauheim derivative type dating from 25 - 100 AD. The brooch is made in one piece. It has a complete tapering pin with a spring of four turns and an internal chord. One of the turns has broken, but the two pieces are still joined. The bow is narrow and is rectangular in section. It tapers from 3.07mm wide at the head to a point at the foot. The restrained decoration consists of a double transverse groove at the head, and a matching motif at the top of the catchplate. The catchplate is sub triangular and is solid. Most of the turn over is missing. The brooch, which has been treated with wax, has a smooth yellow green patina.
