Description: | A bent and incomplete copper-alloy Hod Hill type brooch of mid 1st century date (see R. Hattatt; 2000; pp. 322).
The brooch has a rolled head with an internal axis bar (not visible). A remnant of the copper-alloy pin extends from a slit at the centre of the head. The back of the head tapers into the bow, which comprises two moulded panels, each of three transverse ridges and grooves; a wide central panel of squashed oval shape, with two transverse grooves and a side lug at each end; a narrower 'waisted' segment separating the central panel from the two other panels. The foot section is slender and tapers to a rounded knob at the bottom. The catchplate is solid and is missing its rolled top edge.
The brooch measures 57mm long, 23.6mm wide and 2.4mm thick (centre of the bow). The weight is 7.68g. | 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 |
