Description: | Roman copper alloy brooch of Polden Hill Type and dating from the late 1st-late 2nd century AD. The brooch is incomplete, missing one of the wings, the spring gear, the catch-plate and foot. The spring was secured by means of a Polden Hill claw-type mechanism. The wings are plain, except for the expanded terminals and the bow thickens slightly at the junction with the wings. The bow has the ??dolphin?? curved profile and has a D-shaped section. Little of the original surface survives on the bow, but it appears to have been decorated with incised lines running along the length of the bow, and diverging around the claw at the head. | Subjects: | Polden Hill | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
