Description: | An incomplete and distorted cast copper alloy Hod Hill brooch of early Roman date. The surviving part of the brooch measures 26.2mm by 12.3mm by 3.7mm and weighs 3.6g. It comprises the bow, which has been bent back on itself, and the stub of the catchplate. Most of the rolled tube on top of the bow is missing, as is the axis bar and hinged pin. Adjacent to this the bow narrows, then widens again into a section about 10mm long. This is decorated with four equally spaced vertical ridges. There is no sign of any side lugs, but the brooch is very worn. Below this the bow narrows again and widens once more into the triangular foot. Just above the stub of the catchplate on the front of the brooch there are three transverse indented lines.
