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 proper of the brooch is triangular and tapers down to the bow. The head is undecorated.
The upper part of the bow survives. It comprises a tapering rectangular plate with six raised ridges running vertically down the front surface. A large lug remains intact on either corner.
The brooch has broken across the middle of this plate ? resulting in the loss of the lower bow and the catchplate. The pin is also missing.
The reverse of the brooch is undecorated.
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, p322-3, 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
