Description: | Copper alloy brooch, Hod Hill type. Missing pin and recently broken in two pieces. White metal coating on the front. The upper bow is straight-sided with a central concave band flanked by single notched ribs, then narrower concave mouldings and an edge rib. The junction with the lower bow is marked by a transverse concave moulding and rib. The lower bow is flat, narrow at the top and flaring to a straight edge at the bottom; the only decoration is a single incised line along all three sides. Width 10mm, length 34mm. This is a small and relatively simple example of a straight sided Hod, broadly similar to Hattatt 313 but with the much less common fantail shape to the lower bow as Riha 1979 nos 1035, 1036. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 43
