A copper alloy bow brooch which is probably a Simple Gaulish variant of the Colchester type. It probably dates from the Late Iron Age or Early Roman period. The brooch has a simple narrow bow which is a pointed oval shape in section. It is 72.4mm long, 13.3mm wide and 3.4mm thick. At the foot end the bow tapers to a point and forms a spiral loop. There is a slight flange on the reverse of the foot end of the bow which probably indicates where the catchplate would have been, but none of it survives. The head of the brooch flares into very small and narrow wings which are little more tha…

A corroded and incomplete copper-alloy La Tène I Iron Age brooch (3rd-4th century BC). The brooch is sub-oval in plan and semicircular in cross-section, with a flat reverse surface. At the head one spring coil remains, to the left when viewing the brooch with head uppermost. The bow arcs round to a leg in the same plane as the head; the foot and catchplate have been lost along with the rest of the pin mechanism. The brooch is a mid-green colour with variable survival of surface patina. A comparable example can be found illustrated in Hattatt (2001, 288; ref. 725).
