Description: | Copper alloy brooch, Hod Hill type. Main bow with the catchplate only, missing the head. The side projections are either bent or missing. The surfaces are corroded and abraded surfaces. The bow is bent and possibly heat damaged at the foot. At the surviving top of the bow there is a strong transverse moulding. Below this the stubs of the arms form a pair of open loops which would have joined the projecting arms mid bow (one of which only survives bent round the back with a small stub on the top edge). The bow broadens towards the projections and has traces of grooves angled with the edges. The narrow lower bow has two transverse mouldings at the top and there are also at least two holes through the lower bow (side) which would have held decorative studs. Surviving length 54mm. This is Hattattt's openwork type of Hod Hill (nos. 55, 856) but with the studs reflecting Aucissa /Bagendon types and as Hattatt no 1504. | 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
