Description: | Fragment of Roman copper alloy Hod Hill or Strip-Bow type brooch, consisting of the head with V-shaped notch and incomplete wings and the upper bow only. It measures 16.09x12.34x1.72mm and weighs 1.11g.The wings have the trace of a shadow flanking the break, suggesting they possible curved forwards. However the underside has jagged ends of metal squashed into it.The bow has a prominent rib flanking the outside edges with a triangular-sectioned broad rib at the centre. This creates a channel against the outside ribs which is faintly decorated with incised zig-zag lines.Hod Hill and Strip Bow brooches are not found before AD 43 and continue to about AD 70.
