Description: | Roman brooch fragment: the bow from a crude, cast copper alloy Polden Hill type brooch. The spring, which consists of 7 turns and an external chord secured by a backwards facing hook), is enclosed within a protective half-cylinder, complete with the endstops characteristic of the Polden Hill technology. The bow is undecorated, and narrows sharply from a broad upper end. The brooch has a patchy green surface, and the pin and catchplate are now lost.
Polden Hill brooches date between the late 1st and late 2nd century AD, and are most common in the West Midlands. This example compares closely with Bayley and Butcher's no.214. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Ashby, Steven - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
