Description: | A bent, corroded and incomplete copper-alloy Hod Hill type brooch of mid 1st century date.
The head would originally have been of inverted trapezoidal form, but only half survives. There is a central vertical slot in which the pin would have fitted and the top edge is rolled to accommodate the now-missing axis bar. The bow is of thin section, with a concave upper surface, and tapers towards the bottom, where it is broken off. Located towards the top of the bow are two opposing lugs, each decorated with a pair of vertical ridges.
The brooch measures 26.2mm high, 15.8mm wide and 1mm thick. The weight is 1.64g. | 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 |
