Description: | A Iron Age copper alloy La Tene I brooch, dating to c 400-200 BC. The brooch is nearly complete, although the pin and some of the spring are missing. The brooch has a deeply C-shaped bow which is thicker towards the middle where it is of oval section. The bow thins to either side of the curve; at the top it forms an incomplete coil set around a horizontal bar. At the bottom it curves upwards to form a foot. The foot terminates with an oval swelling. A catchplate extends from the side of the foot, somewhat in the form of a narrow wing.Cf Hattatt, R, 2007, A Visual Catalogue of Richard Hattatt's Ancient Brooches, Oxbow Books, Oxford p 288, Fig 147, no 220.
