Description: | Cast cu-alloy Polden Hill type brooch dating from the early Roman period, i.e. c. AD75-175. The brooch is almost complete with only half of the spring, the foot and pin missing. It does show, however, the characteristic spring mechanism and the humped and crested bow of Polden Hill type brooches. The bow is decorated with a sturdy crest which also includes a perforation for the spring loop at the back of the head. The wings are semi-cylindrical and undecorated. | Subjects: | Polden Hill | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Boughton, Dot - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
