Description: | Copper alloy Romano-British bow brooch of Polden Hill type. The fitting is of the form that typifies this type: a semi-cylindrical tube with perforated plates at each end to accommodate the pin that held the coiled spring. The return of the spring was secured by a backward curving hook at the end of the brooch. The bow is decorated with elegant mouldings which emerge as ribs either side of the hook and then along a third of the brooches length, terminating in neat, comma like mouldings. On the end of the foot is a button like terminal. Most of the catch plate has been lost to corrosion. | Subjects: | Polden Hill type | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Leahy, Kevin - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
