Description: | A Late Iron Age to Early Roman copper-alloy Nauheim-derivative brooch.The brooch has been cast in one piece, the strip then bent and rolled into shape. The distorted bow is of rectangular cross section, tapering to a pointed foot, on the underside of which is an unperforated catchplate, missing its rolled outer side. An internal chord and two coils are all that remains of the original spring mechanism; however, the presence of part of an iron axis bar, contained within these coils, attests to the brooch having been mended following the damage to the spring.Length: 48.7mm; width (head): 11.2mm; depth: 8.1mm. Weight: 3.22g.
