Description: | Roman copper alloy Polden Hill brooch, 42mm long, 17mm wide and 13mm thick. The brooch is in fair condition with a greenish patina and weighs 9.15grams. The brooch has small circular sectioned wings which have lost the spring. The bow sits on the characteristic semi-circular bulge and is semi-circular in section, tapering gently to a point. It is decorated with three raised vertical lines which sit on a slight ridge, running down the centre of the brooch. This stops just over half way down and at this point on the reverse the catchplate begins. This has been broken off leaving just a ridge. | Subjects: | polden hill | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Scott, Wendy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
