Description: | A cast copper alloy 1st century AD, Hod Hill derivative brooch, with side lugs.
The brooch has a double rolled pin holder (one of which is missing, due to well worn break). The head of the bow is roughly rectangular in shape and has three well defined vertical ridges running down the front surface. Extending out from this section there is a pair of side lugs, one on each side.
Below this section the bow tapers and extends down and has been decorated with a number of moulded collars (which only appear on the front surface of the bow). The foot is missing due to a well worn break.
The reverse of the brooch is undecorated. The brooch would once have had a catchplate which has now broken off. The pin is also missing. The surface of the metal is slightly pitted and corroded.
This type of brooch dates from the 1st century AD. This brooch is similar to examples in Hattatt, 2000, p322, Fig. 181 and 182. | 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
