Description: | A worn and flattened copper alloy Hod Hill brooch. The wings consist of the top T shape, folded over on itself, with a slot cut out for the now missing pin. The bow of the brooch consists of a panel with linear moulding then an undecorated panel with triangular extensions and a small knop on each side. This is edged with two transverse mouldings from which spring the splayed foot of the brooch. On the reverse only part of the catchplate survives. This decorative layout is slightly different from the usual Hod Hill brooch in that the side knops are often on the upper linear moulded area rather than the lower one.There are traces of silvering (see Hattatt p 322) | 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
