Description: | Copper alloy brooch fragment, Hod Hill type. Missing lower bow and pin. Traces of iron hinge bar and of white metal on bow front. At the top of the bow is a single transverse concave moulding. The main part of the upper bow is convex fronted with a deep centre groove which has notching along its edges. The upper bow expands to a curved pair of stepped cross mouldings above the narrower stub of the lower bow. Surviving length 31mm, width 12mm. Similar to Riha type 5.12, particularly no. 1121 and to Hattatt no 1501, but neither of these have the flared bow outline.
