Description: | A worn and incomplete copper-alloy Roman Hod Hill brooch. It is missing the axis bar, pin and foot due to old breaks, now worn.At the head of the brooch the flattened terminal of the bow, with a central pin slot, is rolled forwards to hold in place, the now missing pin. The head tapers slightly and is separated from the bow by a transverse ridge. It has a flat, rectangular bow with a slightly convex front face. The front face is decorated with two longitudinal grooves with a prominent central longitudinal rib. To one side at the top of the bow is an oval knop with a D-shaped section. The back face is undecorated.This brooch measures 17.78mm in length, 19.38mm in width at the head, 11.93mm in width at the bow, 1.77mm in thickness, 1.87g in weight.There is a similar example recorded by Hattatt (Hattatt, 1989, p.322, no. 51). However, no direct parallels could be found.
