Title
Iron Age La Tene III brooch
Description
English: An incomplete Iron Age copper-alloy one-piece La Tene III Nauheim progenitor brooch, incomplete and badly distorted. The pin is missing, broken off at the coiled spring which has just over one turn before the chord is bent beneath the spring and around to the other side, where it has a single turn. Here the wire is circular in cross-section, but it then flattens to a neat rectangular cross-section along the bow of the brooch. At the foot it expands to the reverse to form a thin catch, which is incomplete. The foot of the brooch is bent upwards and forwards. The distortion makes it impossible for accurate measurement, but the overall length as bent is c. 28mm and the spring is 5mm wide; the bow is 2mm wide. The metal and its surface are in good condition. Weight 1.6g.

A similar, more complete example is recorded on the PAS database at BERK-8C9194. Hattatt also illustrates a good parallel, his no. 243 (Hattatt 2007, fig, 149). It dates to c. 50 BC to 50 AD.
