Description: | A copper alloy possible Late Iron Age to Roman Nauheim-Derivative brooch dating from AD 10 - 100. The brooch has a plain bow of rectangular section, tapering at the tip to a point, while widening in the other dimension to form the start of a catchplate, most of which is missing. At the top of the bow, the section changes suddenly from rectangular to circular for the spring, of which only one and a half turns survive. The bow is bent and distorted. It is also possible that this object is the pin from a brooch or buckle, but the flattening at the tip is suggestive of a catchplate, and the loop has more turns than would be expected. The possible brooch is 61.5mm long, 9mm wide and 6mm thick. 3.14g. The bow is 4.2mm by 3mm at the top. Compare SUR-BC4153, BERK-597B48, BH-E3B815 and BH-C45758.
