Description: | A copper alloy Hod Hill variant type brooch dating to the first century AD. The brooch possesses a flat triangular head. The hinge type head is damaged in the area where it is rolled over to secure the axis bar and pin. There is triangular cut out at the head to accommodate the pin and iron corrosion on the reverse. The head tapers to the bow which is decorated with marginal grooves and two diagonal and one horizontal row of notches. The bow is separated from the leg by four ribbed mouldings. The leg is circular in section and finishes in a triangular catchplate. it measures 61mm in length and 18mm in width. The brooch is similar to examples 57, 58 and 59 illustrated in the Visual Catalogue of Richard Hattatt's Ancient Brooches. (1989, 323)
