Description: | A cast copper alloy 1st century AD, Hod Hill derivative brooch, with side lugs.
The brooch has a double rolled pin holder (now broken and worn). 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 rectangular plate with three raised ridges running vertically down the front surface. Traces of tinning remain in the grooves. Each corner of the plate has been decorated with a rounded lug.
Below the upper bow there is a collar. Under the collar the brooch has broken off ? 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
