Description: | A small cast copper alloy 1st century AD, Hod Hill derivative brooch, with side lugs. The brooch has a double rolled pin holder. The upper bow is formed from a roughly rectangular shaped plate and has three well defined vertical ridges running down the front surface. Extending out from the head there is a pair of side lugs, one on each side. There is a collar above the plate. Below this upper section the bow tapers and extends down and has been decorated with a number of moulded collars (which only appear on the front surface of the bow). The foot survives as a circular knop. Traces of a white metal coating, probably silver, survive between the ridges on the plate and bow. The reverse of the brooch is undecorated. The catchplate survives but the return has worn away. The pin is of copper alloy, and survives to a length of 19.95mm. The surface of the metal is slightly pitted and corroded. This type of brooch dates from the 1st century AD. This brooch is similar to examples in Hattatt, 2000, p322, Fig.316-7. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | WALKER, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
