Description: | Copper alloy brooch, hinge-headed enamelled type. Missing pin, damaged hinge and edges. The main bow is a flat strip, joined by short elements at near right angles to the hinge and the lower bow. The front has a broad groove along each side, with a narrow beaded rib along the inner edges; these flank a row of five enamelled rectangles. The enamel is badly decayed, three contain a pale yellow-brown paste, alternating with pale greenish (perhaps originally white) traces. The lower bow tapers slightly and has a slightly convex undecorated front. A small broad footknob is defined by a narrow rib and groove. Width c.11mm., length 38mm. Similar to Richborough (Bayley & Butcher 2004, 80, no.154) though this has a broader foot type, described as a Hod Hill derivative. Continental, late 1st or 2nd century. | 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: | 75
