Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy Roman brooch of Hod Hill type, c. first century AD. The remains of the brooch consist of a fragment of the narrow tube formed from the top of the bow and rolled backwards, followed by a bow gently arched near the head flanked by a flat upper side lug to each side; the body is roughly sub-triangular in plan, with the remains of the brooch consisting of the upper half decorated with one vertically running central raised ridge flanked by lightly cusped vertical bands and outer raised ridged perimeter edges. The lower half of the brooch is missing, as is the axial bar, pin and catchplate. The brooch measure 21.6mm long, 16.2mm wide, 2mm thick, and it weighs 1.28 grams. The brooch has an overall reddish-green colour. Traces of tinning are visibe on the surface. The reverse is undecorated. Cf. Hattatt 2007, p. 322.
