| Size | 54.4 mm long | |
| Weight | 3.8 gr | |

| Description | A fibula made from a single piece of metal. The oblong profiled body narrows out and doubles back to form the catch, which thins down to a fine wire which is wrapped around the body behind the catch. the other end reduces into a round wire which forms the spring and pin. The design of the spring and pin is typical of La Tene II while the catch is typical of Roman P shaped bow brooches, so identification has not yet been confirmed. | |
