Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy Iron Age/La Tene III Nauheim-derivative brooch. It is missing part of the lower half of the bow, foot, catch plate and tip of the pin due to old breaks, now worn.The bow is a flattened D-shape in section with a flat back and rounded front face and tapers to old breaks. It curves at the head to an integrally cast spring chord, spring of four coils and the remains of a pin. The front face of the bow is decorated with a series of transverse grooves. The back face is undecorated.This brooch measures 24.25mm in length, 12.31mm in width at the coil, 3.99mm in width at the bow, 1.53mm in thickness, 1.88g in weight.This brooch is similar to those published by Hattatt (Hattatt, 1989, p.290, no. 243) and discovered at Hacheston (Blagg et al, 2004, p. 90, no. 2).
