Description: | Copper alloy brooch, Hod Hill type. Missing the top of bow and foot, heavy corrosion makes it difficult to be sure of original form, especially as it is also bent flat. Most likely it is nearly complete but missing side projections - however it could be the bottom half of a much larger piece. At the top there are two strong transverse ribs, below which a small rectangular plate has a centre rib (giving a low triangular section) and is probably damaged along the edges. The lower bow is very corroded, with two transverse ribs at the top. Surviving length 40mm. Probably as Riha no. 892
