Description: | A copper alloy Hod Hill variant type brooch dating to the first century AD. The head of the brooch is formed from a sheet of copper alloy which has been rolled forward to form a cylindrical tube. This would have housed the axis bar and hinged pin. From the head, there extends an arched rectangular section bow. The bow tapers to a horizontally ribbed leg and trapezoidal foot. The catchplate is triangular and runs the length of the leg. Remnants of tinning are visible on the leg, bow and wings. The brooch measures 31mm in length. The wings have a width of 10mm, whilst the bow measures a maximum of 5mm. | Subjects: | Hod Hill | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Walton, Phillippa - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
