Description: | Copper alloy brooch, Hod Hill type. Two fragments which may be from one originally, although they are now very differently damaged and discoloured. One consists of the head and top of the bow; below a transverse rib and concave moulding it is straight sided and has three longitudinal ribs, separated and flanked by concave mouldings and smaller side ribs. This could derive from a straight sided type of Hod Hill, or from one with low set projections. The second fragment is from the mid bow and has surface damage and is bent. The upper bow, consisting of at least four ribs separated by concave mouldings, has side projections (also with a vertical rib) just above the junction with the lower bow which is marked by transverse mouldings. Surviving lengths 23mm and 20mm, width (at hinge) 18mm. | 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
