Description: | Incomplete copper alloy Roman Hod Hill brooch with side lugs (lower), consisting of the lower part of the bow, the leg and incomplete catchplate. The foot is missing. The breaks seem fresh and are quite sharp. The lower part of the bow has four raised longitudinal ribs between which the outer two of three areas have traces of silvering, now tarnished. The side lugs project towards the bottom of these longitudinal lines and have a tiny moulded rib flanking their attachment to the bow. Below the bow the foot extends, with three (and probably a fourth or more, now missing) horizontal mouldings. Between the first and second from the bow and the third to the break are traces of silvering, and some tarnishing. The catchplate extends to the back but is broken below the angular point at which the curl normally extends. Incomplete length 25mm, width lug to lug 19mm. 1st century AD. | 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: | 1
