Description: | A cast copper alloy Hod Hill type Roman brooch dating to the 1st century AD. The brooch is cruciform in shape, with a square central element from which emanates two side knobs, the foot and the hinge mechanism.
The central element is moulded with four vertical heavy ribs. The foot is slightly tapering and has three ribbed mouldings. The foot knob is missing. Some traces of tinning survive on the foot and between the two central ribs.
The head has a single rib above which the hinge partially survives. The brooch is P shaped in profile. The pin is missing and the catch plate is fragmentary. The metal has a mid-green colour. This brooch is similar to examples in Hattatt, 2000, pp322, Fig. 181. | 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
