Description: | Copper alloy Roman brooch fragment of Hod Hill type. The upper section of the brooch is missing. A sub-rectangular portion of the plate at the top of the bow survives, but is incomplete (L. 12.98mm. W. 7.85mm. Th. 2.38mm). The upper edge is broken and there is a central longitudinal ridge with lateral grooves along its length on the upper surface. Beneath this is a sub-oval element, recessed slightly from the plate. This element has incised decoration on the upper surface in the form of a row of circles along the lower and left edge. The right side of this element is damaged. Beneath this the lower section of the bow, narrowed and recessed slightly from the sub-oval element, tapers towards the foot. The upper surface is decorated with a central longitudinal line of closely spaced short incised lateral lines. There is a transverse raised ridge at the junction with the foot. The foot terminates in a sub-rectangular knop. There are traces of white metal coating on the upper surface. On the reverse of the lower bow and foot are the remains of the catchplate (L. 30.40mm. Th. 1.24mm). The edges of the catchplate are damaged and there is a circular hole off centre. The pin is missing. The reverse is flat. Patchy mid-green patina. | Subjects: | Hod Hill | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Puls, Jodi - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
