Description: | A copper alloy Nauheim-derivative of La Tène III brooch dating to the Iron Age, c. 100 BC to AD 100.The object has an integral head which is mainly comprised of the spring mechanism created by winding the metal. The metal has broken so the pin is not present. From the head, the brooch widens and extends to the bow which is undecorated. The bow then tapers to point, behind which the catchplate extends.Similar examples are listed in Hattatt (2000: fig. 149) as La Tene Type III brooches dating to the 1st Century BC - 1st Century AD and there are also examples listed on the PAS database, see for example SWYOR-3FAA48.
