Description: | An incomplete copper alloy Late Iron Age/ Early Roman La Tène III (AD 20-100) simple one-piece or Nauheim derivative type brooch, missing its spring, pin and part of the catchplate curl. The bow is bent inwards a little and the bottom of the foot is bent to one side. The brooch measures 46.79mm in length and weighs 2.06g.The bow expands from 2.67x1.36mm (below the projection of the missing spring) to 10.31x1.15mm, where it sharply narrows into the lower bow, 3.49mm wide and narrowing to 0.42mm wide at the foot. The catchplate extends behind the lower part of the lower bow, the curl having rather jagged and probably recent damage to it.The bow is decorated with a deep groove flanking each outside edge, and a trio of transverse groove at the juncture with the lower bow.
