The piece consists of the lower part of the bow, the catchplate, and the foot of a Hod Hill type brooch of probable mid first century AD date. The bow measures 8.1mm wide at the point where it has broken off. It is 1.8mm thick and has decoration on its upper surface consisting of three vertical ridges above two horizontal ridges. Below this the brooch is undecorated and narrower. It tapers slightly towards the foot, which consists of a small round knob. The catchplate is of the closed type and is fully intact. The object as a whole is bent and corroded. It measures 22.2mm high and weighs 1.29g. | 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: | 60
