Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy Hod Hill brooch, dating from the mid to late 1st century AD.The headplate is inverted-sub-trapezoidal in plan, having inward-bowing sides. The horizontal upper side has been rolled backwards to create a cylinder for the axis bar, from the centre of which protrudes the pin loop. The top of the bow is wider than the head, although its sides converge towards the base. A series of vertical ridges and wide grooves decorates the upper surface of the bow, while two right-angled lugs protrude from from the top right and left corners respectively. A pair of transverse ridges and grooves separates the bow from the foot, only a small portion of which survives, with a fragment of the catchplate located on its underside. Traces of a black coating are visible on the upper surface of the brooch.Dimensions: 37.1mm long, 28.9mm wide, 3.3mm thick. Weight: 9.98g.
