Description: | Cast copper alloy Hod Hill brooch with upper side lugs. The hinge plate is curled over, there is no trace of the pin surviving. The bow is sub-triangular, with a central lengthwise groove, and a projecting side lug at both top corners. Three raised transverse ridges, of which the middle one is the larger, separate the bow from the foot. The foot appears to be undecorated, and retains a catchplate on the reverse. Hattatt (1987) dates these brooches to the middle decades of the 1st century AD.
