Description: | A copper alloy bow brooch, possibly a Hod Hill variant dating to the late first or second centuries AD. The brooch possesses a D sectioned ribbed bow which expands and flattens to form a rectangular mid bow plate. The mid bow plate has semi-circular end knobs, a rectangular cell, probably originally filled with enamel. The edges of the cell are knurled. The leg of the brooch is D shaped in section and possesses moulded ribs. On the underside of the brooch there are two semi-circular perforated lugs to hold the pin in place and a semi-circular catchplate. The brooch measures 37mm in length and 29mm in width. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
