Description: | Cast copper alloy Polden Hill type bow brooch dating to the second half of the 1st century AD. The pin and most of the catchplate are missing. It is very worn and has some corrosion.
The wings of the brooch are semi-cylindrical and the backwards facing hook is still visible. The rest of the spring mechanism has been lost to corrosion. The bow rises high from the wings with a humped appearance similar to the Dolphin type. The bow tapers to a point at the foot. | Subjects: | Polden Hill | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McIntosh, Frances | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
