Description: | A fragment of a copper-alloy Hod Hill brooch of AD c. 43-c.75 (see Andrews-Wilson et al., 2008, p. 19).At the top of the head is a horizontal cylinder which has been formed by bending backwards the brooch's upper edge, and holds the axis bar. Protruding from a central slot in this cylinder is a bent remnant of the attached wire pin. The head takes the form of an inverted sub-trapezoidal plate, with slightly concave outer sides. A transverse moulded ridge divides the head from the bow, the latter element being wide, with convex outer sides and having five moulded vertical ridges. Only a small portion of the bow survives.The brooch measures 17.9mm long, 18.8mm wide and 4.1mm thick. The weight is 2.98g.
