Bow brooch (fibula) “ad occhio” with a rectilinear pin which has a round section, attached to a two armed bow by a spring of four coils, also with a round section. The two bow arms are separated in the middle by a double coil loop. The bow and pin are decorated with triangular incisions filled with parallel lines. The discovery of this object in Alicante is very significant as it is evidence of the existence of close contacts between the Alicante area and the Central Mediterranean region at the end of the Bronze Age, before the Phoenician colonisation.
