Description: | The head and part of the bow of a copper alloy Polden Hill type brooch. The catchplate and foot are missing. The bow is decorated with a median milled rib with a ridge either side. The spring mechanism is intact and there is the remnant of the chord anchoring hook present. The original pin has been lost and its replacement is simply bent around the axis bar and bent back again underneath to secure it. It has been converted into a basic hinge mechanism. The oval appendages on either side of the head are clearly visible. | Subjects: | Polden Hill type | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Herepath, Nick - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
