Full Description
Bronze brooch of La Tene IA type (S1)(S2)(R1).
"Spring abnormal for Britain in having 6 coils (diameter 16mm); pin slender, tapering and sharp; foot reverted level with terminal ball, touching bow with snout ..., bow arched and somewhat splayed; Clarke's line of dots along crest was not seen by Hull, nor by Miss Wardman". "Has all the appearance of an importation from the Continent" (S3)(R2), & "perhaps a direct import" (S1)(S3).
"Well matched in Champagne both in the splay and the snouted ball (a boule et bec)", where seemingly never as late as 1b type brooches. In Britain type IA occurs from middle fifth to early fourth century BC (S3).
