Description: | Roman copper alloy Polden hill brooch, 34mm long, 18mm wide with a weight of 8.1 grams. The brooch is in very good condition with a green/grey patina and is missing only the pin. The bow is rounded and has a terminal foot formed by a deep incised line running horizontally just above the base. The reverse has a catchplate, 10mm long, which gradually emerges at an angle from the bow and has a folded end to hold the pin. The wings are short and rounded to hold the spring, which has 9 coils. At the centre of the wings a small protrusion emerges from the top of the bow and covers the spring. The brooch has no decoration but there are traces of tinning on various parts of the bow, catchplate and wings. The brooch is similar to No24, Fig.159 in Hattatt.
