Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy Hod Hill type brooch of AD c. 43-c. 75 (see Andrews-Wilson et al., 2008, p. 19).The head is badly damaged but appears to be of typical form, expanding in width towards the outer edge, where there would have been an enclosed axis bar and central pin. The bow comprises an inverted trapezoidal plate with two moulded vertical ridges separated by grooves. Extending from each of the two bottom corners is a lug. A narrow moulded transverse ridge marks the transition between the bow and the foot, the latter of which is narrow, has a flat upper surface and tapers in width, terminating in a moulded foot knob with transverse ridge. On the underside the catchplate extends the length of the foot. It is missing its upper edge. The brooch is heavily corroded. The surfaces have possibly been tinned or silvered. It measures 35.2mm long, 18.8mm wide and 7.2mm thick. The weight is 2.73g.
