Description: | Roman copper alloy Hod Hill openwork type brooch missing the pin, with a small trace of silver enamel, c. 1st century AD.
The brooch measures 51mm in length and is 21mm wide, weighing 3.6g.
The brooch is missing the tubular wings and instead has a wingspan measuring 13mm which is completely flat. There is a horizontal ridge inbetween the wingspan and the panel on the upper bow. The panel on the upper bow is rectangular measuring 16mm in length and is 7mm wide. Eitherside of the panel, a pair of struts extends away, one from the top and one from the bottom, by 6-7mm to form a knob.
Below the panel there is another horizontal ridge, followed by a plain lower bow, which has a small trace of silver enamel present. A further horizontal ridge is present just above the foot-knob which is plain.
The reverse of the brooch is plain and the catchplate extends away from the bow by 5mm.
