Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy Middle Iron Age (La Tène I) brooch, dating to the period c. 400-200 BC. Only the centre of the brooch survives, namely the humped bow, which has a D-shaped cross section. The bow is thickest in the centre of the hump; at the head end the casting narrows to a small circular cross section which would have continued into the coiled spring. At the opposing end, the casting flattens out and would have formed into the catchplate before curving back upwards so that the foot sat almost against the outer curve of the bow. See Hattatt (2007:288 fig. 147, no. 725) for a similar example.
