Description: | A damaged and incomplete copper-alloy Hod Hill type brooch of mid 1st century AD date (R. Hattatt; 1982; pp. 88).
The incomplete head would originally have been small and flat. It has the remnant of a central pin slot and tapers in width towards the bow. A moulded ridge above a horizontal groove separates the head from the bow plate. The latter element is trapezoidal in plan, has a side lug on each of the two bottom corners, and three vertical ridges. The foot section is much narrower then the bow plate; it is decorated by three equally-spaced horizontal ridges and has a terminal foot knob. The angled catchplate occupies most of the length of the foot section and is slightly damaged. The brooch as a whole has a slight curvature.
The object measures 49.7mm long, 26.9mm wide and up to 6.8mm thick. The weight is 4.39g. | Subjects: | Hod Hill | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
