Description: | Roman copper alloy Polden Hill brooch, 51mm long, 18mm wide and 11mm deep. The objectis in fair condition with a brown patina and weighs 8.83grams. The brooch has short hollow wings with a semi-circular hole to hold a spring bar. Part of the spring mechanism sits above the centre of the wings. It has a long sub-rectangular sectioned bow. Half of its surface is taken up with a raised line which terminates in a raised chevron so it resembles an arrow. Where the decoration on the front ends, the catchplate begins on the reverse. The catchplate is intact and tapers outwards gently until it forms a rolled 'catch' 15mm long. The brooch appears to be missing a spherical terminal at this point as it ends abruptly. | 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 |
