Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy Late Iron Age or early Roman period one-piece brooch of 'Nauheim derivative' La Tene III type dating from c. AD 25-100. The brooch has a head with an internal chord which passes underneath the bilateral four-coil spring, one of which forms the pin, which is missing. The brooch body is triangular in plan and oval in section, and has a slightly arched profile similar to many brooches of this type. The body tapers into a very narrow undecorated foot, which is bent outwards slightly at the end, possibly due to in situ damage. There are no traces of a catchplate, which is common to the 'Neuheim derivative' type. The brooch does not seem to be decorated. It measures 30.96 mm long, 8.72 mm wide (at spring), 4.9 mm thick (at spring) and weighs 1.6 grams. The brooch has an overall reddish-green colour.Nauheim derivative brooches are common in Britain during the Roman period and were probably manufactured in Britain as well as the Continent. Cf. Bayley and Butcher 2004, Fig. 37. For another similar PAS database example cf. SUSS-A6BD93.
