Description: | An incomplete late Iron Age or early Roman cast copper-alloy one-piece brooch of 'Nauheim derivative' La Tene III type (AD 10-100).This is a one-piece brooch where the spring is a continuation of the bow which would have been a bilateral four-coil spring before forming the pin. However, only one coil now remains, the rest is broken and missing.In plan, the tapering flat bow extends from one of the inner coils and is an elongated 'V' shape. It is curved in side profile. The front of the bow is decorated with a circular stamp around the edge of the entire bow forming a border. The catch-plate is rectangular in plan with one corner folded over to catch the pin.Similar brooches are published (Bayley & Butcher 2004: 53-55, fig. 37, refs: 1-17) and on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database see IOW-9A5568.Dimensions: length: 45.11 mm; width: 7.09mm; thickness: 7.86mm; weight: 1.93g.
