Description: | Copper alloy Roman brooch of Polden Hill type, its foot being slightly bent but complete, except for its pin. The body of the brooch tapers from the bow towards the foot, its edges bearing slightly concave chamfers. One the back of the bow is a raised, lentoid moulding and three pairs of opposed, triangular recesses, four of which contain traces of red, and perhaps green, enamel. The coiled spring is fitted into the hollow back of the semi-cylindrical wings, the ends of which are closed by disc, perforated to hold the spring chord. The central section of the spring passes through a hole in a plate on the end of the bow. The remains of a triagular catch plate is present. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Leahy, Kevin - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
