Description: | Cast copper alloy damaged and repaired probably Hod Hill brooch length 37mm, width 9mm. The bow of this brooch is flattened into a rectangular plate. This plate is decorated with a series moulded vertical ridges that run down its length. The plate steps down either side to the narrowed foot that has the complete catch plate on the reverse. The head has been truncated resulting in the loss of the wings and pin. To repair the brooch a copper alloy rod has been inserted from the back so its main length protruded from the front, this was then bent round to the back to from the new pin, the pin of this repair in now truncated. Hod hill brooches date to AD43-70
