Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy Hod Hill brooch, dating from the mid to late 1st century AD.The horizontal upper side of the brooch has been rolled backwards, creating a cylinder for the iron axis bar. At the centre of this cylinder is a vertical slit, at which point the now-missing pin would have been attached. Immediately below the cylinder, the headplate flares before the sides converge towards the top of the bow. Only the upper part of the bow survives; it is decorated with three high transverse ridges with separating grooves and tapers towards the point of the break.Dimensions: 26.3mm long, 19.2mm wide, 9.9mm deep. Weight: 7.17g.
