Description: | An incomplete copper alloy brooch dating to the late Iron Age and early Roman periods. The brooch is an example of the La Tene III. It consists of a curved bow with a catchplate attached and a spring at the top of the bow. The pin that would have attached to the spring is missing. The brooch is decorated with three moulded ridges about halfway down the bow, the one in the centre is larger than the two that flank it. It is green in colour with some brown patches. The object weighs 4.8g and measures 49.49mm in length and 4.08mm at its thickest point. Parallels can be found in Hattatt, R. (2007) A visual catalogue of Richard Hattatt's Ancient Brooches, Oxford: Oxbow: 290, no.'s 9, 10 and 12.
