Description: | An incomplete copper alloy late Iron Age/ early Roman La Tène III, Nauheim derivative brooch (100 BC - AD 100). The brooch is made in one piece, with the top of the bow narrowing and curling back on itself several times to form a spring which would then extend downwards to form the pin, there are 4 coils remaining and the top of the pin now broken. The brooch has a very thin, arched bow, which is D-shaped in section, being flat to the reverse undecorated except for a square sectioned integral plate at the centre. The bow narrows down to a triangular catchplate that is unperforated with a dark green patina. Similar to no 9, fig 17, P.59 in Hattatt, R. 2000. Ancient and Romano-British Brooches. Dorset Publishing Company (Sherborne). The length is 37mm, width 25mm and the weight 1.97g.
