BROOCH

Unique ID: SUSS-36C15A

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

A fragment of a cast, copper alloy, one piece Iron age- Early Roman Brooch, comprising the spring, part of the bow and a piece of the pin 50BC-100AD.. The bow has broken 16.3mm from the spring and of the pin only 12mm remains. The brooch has been constructed from a single piece of copper alloy that has been coiled around four times to form the spring. The whole object has an even green patination.

There are some broad similarities with the more complete SUSS-4CD031, suggesting that the Brooch is a Nauheim Derivative/La Tene III type brooch, similar to Mackreth 2011, no.4346 (Vol.2 pg11 pl.8).
