Description: | A fragment of a cast copper alloy Hod Hill brooch of early Roman date. The surviving part of the brooch measures 27.8mm by 10.8mm by 3mm and weighs 0.9g. It comprises the rolled top of the brooch and a length of the bow. The rolled tube is split by a central notch which would have accommodated the missing pin. The pin would have pivoted on the iron axis bar which was concealed within the tube. There appears to be some surviving iron corrosion in the tube. The brooch is too worn to discern any decoration. A more complete parallel features in Hattatt's 'Visual Catalogue' (2000, p. 320, fig. 179, no. 49). This example is from London. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
