Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy Hod Hill type brooch of early Roman date. The surviving part of the brooch measures 38.6mm by 10.8mm by 2.7mm and weighs 4.88g. Most of the rolled axis bar is missing, as is the pin. The bow, which is decorated with parallel incised lines to form three central ridges, narrows slightly towards the foot. It has a central oval knop and below this is the triangular foot, on which are the faint remains of incised dotted decoration and some remaining silvering/tinning. The foot would probably have terminated in a knop (see for example on the similar no. 1499 in Hattatt's 'Visual Catalogue'), but it is missing in this case. The back of the brooch is flat and undecorated. On the back of the foot are the remains of a triangular catchplate. | Subjects: | Hod Hill | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Payne, Naomi - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
