Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy Hod Hill type brooch of mid 1st century date (see Hattatt, 1982, p. 88).
The head comprises an inverted sub-triangular plate, the horizontal top edge having been folded back on itself to create a cylinder for the iron axis bar. The incomplete wire pin extends from a slit at the centre of the head. The bow is of thin section and tapers from top to bottom. At the top of the bow are two projecting side lugs, one on either side and at the same level. The upper surface of the bow has cast decoration comprising a series of vertical grooves and ridges. The foot section of the brooch is missing.
The surfaces of the brooch are heavily corroded. It measures 21.7mm high, up to 13.8mm wide (at the side lugs) and 10.9mm deep. The weight is 2.05g. | Subjects: | Hod Hill type | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
