Description: | A fragment of a Polden Hill brooch of early Roman date. The fragment measures 13.1mm by 22.8mm by 9.3mm and weighs 6.5g. It comprises the wings and a short section of the bow. The axis bar is accommodated within the semi-cylindrical wings, which have closed ends. Corrosion suggests the axis bar is made from iron. The spring is threaded around the axis bar and its chord is held in an upper hole through a crest which protrudes from the centre of upper face of the wings. Most of the bow, the pin and catchplate are missing. | Subjects: | Polden Hill | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Payne, Naomi - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
