Description: | Copper alloy brooch fragment, Hod Hill related type with straight sides. Upper bow only, missing pin, damaged hinge and margins. Below the hinge there are three shallow transverse grooves and ribs, then a sharp angle and a slightly broader main bow.The main bow has a single concave moulding along each edge and a central row of four (surviving ) punched "flower" motifs each made up of six angular petals. These were presumably either niello or enamel filled originally - neither Hattatt nor Riha have an identical motif but there are 4-arm examples (cf Riha 1979 no 1311). Surviving length 24mm, max width 12mm. | Subjects: | Hod Hill | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Plouviez, Judith | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
