Description: | A cast copper-alloy Hod Hill brooch, c. AD 43-70.The brooch is largely complete, missing only the shaft of the hinged pin and the catchplate and footknob. The head is T-shaped with upward curling tabs holding an axle for the hinged pin, the hed of which is corroded in place in the centre of the head. The bow is trapezoidal in shape with vertical grooves and a knob projecting to either side at the base of the trapezoidal panel. Below the panel is a moulded double-collar, and the lower bow then tapers to the missing foot. The underside of the lower bow retains a triangular projection, which is all that remains of the catchplate. The remains of a circular hole indicate that the catchplate has openwork decoration.
