Description: | Copper-alloy brooch fragment, Hod Hill type. Lower bow with catchplate only, abraded. The bow is rectangular in section, with two iron pins passing transversely through the thickness of the bow; one partially survives at the break and another just below. The bow then broadens slightly and then has two transverse ribs. Below these it tapers sharply to a small foot knob with a worn transverse rib above. The catchplate, which is thick at the top edge of the bow junction, has a group of 3 small holes at the top. Surviving length 42 mm. Riha type 5.14.1 has the iron pins (which would have held decorative knobs) and the heavy catchplates - the closest comparison is her no.1206 though this has the catchplate holes lower down.
