Description: | A copper-alloy fragment of a Roman brooch. The fragment is of the top half of the bow of a Hod Hill bow brooch; the foot and head are missing. The foot and catchplate are missing. The top of the bow is 9.4 mm wide and tapers quite sharply to 5.1 mm at a middle knop, at which point the brooch is broken. The front of the bow is decorated with a vertical wavy line with a groove either side. There is a lateral groove at the top of the bow, before the head. All that remains of the head is a slight knop, however this is enough to suggest that the head and hinge would have been of the curled over type. Other examples of Hod Hill brooches are illustrated in Hattatt (1989, 63-65; 1497-1395). The type dates to the second half of the first century AD, from circa 40 to 60 AD. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Brindle, Tom - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
