Description: | Copper alloy Roman Hod Hill Class A Brooch. The head of the brooch is separated into two sections by a rounded V-shaped slot in the centre which would have accommodated the pin hinge. The head is rolled over but is now badly damaged. Beneath the head there are two wide parallel lateral grooves separated by a raised lateral ridge. The bow is wide, flat and tapering. The upper bow is gently angled and is decorated with three longitudinal ridges; there is a high central ridge and a lower bordering one on either edge. Beneath this section the bow narrows slightly where there is a lateral groove before expanding again where there is a lateral ridge. Beneath this there is a straight, flat tapering leg terminating in a foot knob. Much of the catchplate survives on the reverse of the leg. The pin is missing. Patchy dark green and reddish brown patina.
