Description: | A cast copper alloy 1st century AD, Hod Hill derivative brooch fragment, with side lugs. The fragment consists of the upper bow of the brooch and the double rolled pin holder, which partially survives. The upper bow is formed from a roughly rectangular shaped plate and has five well defined vertical ridges running down the front surface. Traces of a silver coloured metal coating remain between the two outer ribs on each side. Extending out from the base of the plate is a pair of side lugs, one of which is worn and broken. There is a collar below the plate, where the bow is terminated by a worn break. The reverse of the brooch is undecorated. The pin is missing. The surface of the metal is slightly pitted with a greenish grey patina. This type of brooch dates from the 1st century AD. This brooch is similar to examples in Hattatt, 2000, p322-3, Fig. 181 and 182.
