Description: | Fragment of a Roman copper-alloy Hod Hill brooch variant; 1st century AD date (R. Hattatt, 2001, p. 323, No. 55). Only the top of the brooch survives. Under the axis bar, the neck narrows into a wide collar, which then expands to the top part of the main frame, with a ridge running down on each side of the plate. In the middle of the axis bar, the remains of an iron pin mechanism have corroded into the copper-alloy, but the pin itself is missing.
The object measures 24.8mm long, 16.5mm wide and 3.1mm thick. It weighs 4.55g. | Subjects: | Hod Hill | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Laakso, Laura | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
