Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy Iron Age/La Tene III Nauheim derivative brooch. It is worn and missing the integrally cast spring, internal spring chord and pin due to old breaks. The bow is undecorated, D-shaped in section with flat back face and rounded front face. It narrows at the head towards the now incomplete spring and tapers at the opposite end towards a pointed foot. On the back face of the foot is an integrally cast catchplate that is rectangular in form with folded outer edge and some post-depositional damage and wear. The entire brooch has a green patina that is pitted and shows signs of corrosive copper-alloy products in places. It measures 33.52mm in length, 3.54mm in width at bow, 2.01mm in thickness at bow, and weighs 1.50g.This is a late Iron Age/La Tene III Nauheim derivative brooch with parallels noted from Hacheston in Suffolk (Blagg et al., 2004: no. 5) and from Baldock, Hertfordshire (Stead and Rigby, 1986: pp. 108-110, Figs. 40-41). These indicate a 1st century AD date for the current example, c.10-100 AD.
