Description: | RB Part of bow, leg and foot of Hod Hill type brooch, the metal is rather thin. From the (old) break, the bow is defined on either side by a raised rib running its length, while down the middle runs another (slightly thicker) raised rib. At the point where it reaches the leg, the bow is flanked on either side by two tiny projecting knobs. Below this are two horizontal ribs, between which the leg curves in then out, as though ?waisted?. Below the lower rib is a smaller waist, which then curves inward again in a long smooth line running the rest of the leg-length till it flares out slightly at a third waist to another horizontal rib just above the foot. Beneath this the foot is also waisted, the lower half expanding to a wiodth slightly greater than that of the preceeding rib. On the reverse, the catchplate is triangular and missing the catch. Cf Hattat no.315 & 848 for similar styles. Length 35mm. 40-60AD. | 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: | 40
