Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy Hod Hill type brooch, dating from the mid to late 1st century AD.As the head has been lost in antiquity, the uppermost element to survive is the upper bow, the surface of which is decorated by two transverse ridges with interspersing grooves. The widest part of the bow is immediately beneath; also at this point, projecting at 90 degrees from the left-hand side, there is a vertically ridged lug with rounded end. The remains of a second such lug can be seen on the right-hand side. Three vertical ridges with interspersing grooves decorate the surface of the middle to lower bow, the straight sides of which converge towards the bottom. The foot has three transverse ridges and grooves, and only a small portion of the catchplate remains.Length: 36.1mm; width: 15.8mm; thickness: 3mm. Weight: 4g.
