Description: | Copper alloy Roman Hod Hill Class B Brooch. The head of the brooch is flat and separated into two sections by a rounded V-shaped slot in the centre which would have accommodated the pin hinge. The head is rolled over and part of the iron axis bar may survive. Beneath the head the upper section of the bow is decorated with two cross ribs. Beneath this section the bow expands to form the upper panel which is generally rectangular. The panel is fluted, the fluting formed by four raised vertical ridges separated by three concave grooves. On either side a side knob extends from the panel. The side knobs terminate in expanded, oval knobs, one of which is largely missing. Beneath this the leg of the bow tapers slightly to a foot knob. The leg is decorated with five cross ribs. The remains of the catchplate survive on the reverse of the leg. The pin is missing. Patchy dark green and reddish brown patina. | 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
