Description: | Copper alloy brooch fragment, Hod Hill type. Upper half only, missing pin; corroded patches. Traces of tinning on the head, which is constricted above the main bow. The main bow has very small side projections at the top and is a very slightly tapered thick strip (almost 3mm thick). It has a notched rib along each side and a centre row of circular settings, now lost, held by wire rivets in slight depressions. Width 19mm, surviving length 24mm. The use of rivetted circular settings (sometimes perhaps of bone) is commoner on Continental plate brooches but also characterises Riha 1979 Typ 5.16, though none is identical to the present example. | 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
