Brooch

An ornamental pin or piece of decorative metalwork attached by a pin, that was either a fastener or ornament, and are found from c 1400 BC. Brooches developed from the Roman fibula, which was similar to a safety pin, and first made at La Tène on Lake Neuchâtel, Switzerland. Their styles vary especially in the twistings of the spring and may be used to date other finds. There were long brooches, rosette or circular brooches, and penannular types.
