Description: | Polden Hill type Roman brooch dating to the late 1st-2nd century AD. Rather narrow style bow and head which is typically humped over. Backward projecting hook on the top would have held the chord of the spring, which is missing. The wings terminate in pierced lugs which are milled around edge. Pronounced oval moulding to either side of the head which merge beneath the head to form a bump which has an incised V and border lines. The head is decorated with a moulded midrib comprising a central wavy line between two straight lines. The midrib extends one third the length of the bow. The rest of the bow is plain and terminates in a double moulded, flat based foot. The bow is oval in section. The catchplate is mostly missing but what remains suggests it was pierced. | 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 |
