Description: | Copper alloy Hod Hill brooch without side lugs. The headplate and hinge is formed of a plate curved over its top, through which is inserted an iron pin bar. The copper alloy brooch pin is hinged on this. Below the headplate the brooch narrows to form the bow. The upper part of the bow has a half-rounded cross section, with bulbous and disc-like widened transverse bands. The lower part of the bow and foot has a triangular cross-section with a silvered front decorated with inlaid blackish metal, possibly niello. The foot terminates in a half-rounded knob, and the catchplate on the back of the foot is perforated by a single hole. Hod Hill brooches of this type date to the 1st century AD.
