Title
Iron Age Hair Pin
Description
English: A complete Iron Age cast copper-alloy hair pin of La Tene 1 type (4th-3rd century BC). It is formed of an elongated wire that is circular in cross-section (2.6mm thick, 46mm length), which would have formed upper 'swan neck' style kink in the pin; below this, the pin expands to a lentoid decorative disc (14mm length, 6.5mm width), followed by an undecorated pin shaft. The lentoid disc is decorated with an outer linear ridged and grooved detail, with further ridges forming a central lentoid shape within the disc. The elongated circular-sectioned wire has been bent out of shape in an almost 90 degree angle due to post-depositional damage, but the pointed end suggests this is the complete length of the pin. This artefact has a broadly mid-green patina and similar decorative motifs can be paralleled with La Tene I brooches in Hattatt (2000: 288, fig. 147, no. 1447).
