Brooch
Unique ID: DENO-CAB9C3
Object type certainty: Certain
Roman cast copper alloy Hod Hill brooch, incomplete, mid 1st century (c.AD43-AD70), Hull Type 61. The hinged pin is held on a copper alloy axis bar – both are freely moving (the pin slides out of the tube); most of the pin is missing. The axis bar is held within a tube formed from the top of the bow rolled back. The bow profile is gently arched near the head. The upper half of the bow is a wide rectangular panel decorated with four wide shallow longitudinal grooves; there would have been a moulded lug on each of the lower corners of this panel – only the left one survives. The lower half of the bow narrows abruptly; there is a moulded groove at the top, then it tapers to a pointed foot. The catchplate is damaged but extends to the top of the lower half of the bow. There are traces of tinning over the whole of the obverse of the bow (although apparently not the rolled tube at the top of the head). Corroded and fragile; mid green patina with some patches of light green exposed surface. Length 52.9mm, width (max across centre – but one lug missing) 18.0mm, thickness as curved c.8mm, weight 4.35g.
