Description: | Roman copper alloy Polden Hill brooch
The brooch is 52.2mm long, 26mm wide and 18.1mm thick. It weighs 12.59grms.
Its has a pin bar lug (double lug) with a spring mechanism. The pin is completely missing. The catchplate survives intact.
The foot of the brooch has a triangular hole in the catchplate. There is a central ridge running down the bow, and ends with a loop at the head of the bow, just above the wings. A triangular pattern tapers from the wings to the middle of the bow, where there are 3 ribs on either side of the bow. The wings presumably have 6 ridges each, as the right hand wing is incomplete.
The brooch is in fair condition with a green patina. | Subjects: | Polden Hill | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Johns, Phillip | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
