Description: | Copper alloy Roman hinge-headed brooch, possibly of Hod Hill Class A type. The head of the brooch is flat and separated into two sections by a narrow rectangular slot located slightly off centre which would have accommodated the pin hinge. The head is rolled to accommodate the iron axis bar, some of which may still survive as there is some iron corrosion on the head of the brooch. The head tapers to the bow. The bow gradually tapers to foot knob. The bow has very little decoration. At the top of the bow at the junction with the head there are two parallel slightly raised lateral ridges. At the apex of the bow there is a slightly raised trapezoidal panel. There is some evidence of another slightly raised lateral ridge, perhaps two, on the lower section of the bow, however these are unclear. The bow appears to be otherwise undecorated. The remains of the catchplate survive on the reverse of the leg of the bow. The pin is missing. Patchy dark green 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: | 1
