Description: | Head fragment from a copper alloy bow brooch of Polden Hill type and dating to the 1st-2nd century AD. The brooch employed a spring mechanism, which was secured by a Polden Hill lug type arrangement. The spring is present and has three coils either side of the centre. The wings have an oval section, with expanded terminals and an additional raised rib either side of the head. The top of the bow has a flat underside and is decorated with moulded ornament. The lug securing the chord descends to the bow in a diagonal between V-shaped mouldings. The sides also have moulded ribs. Beneath this the bow is slender and has an oval section.
