Description: | Roman copper alloy polden hill bow brooch, 56mm long, 19mm wide and 21mm deep. the brooch is in fair condition with a brown patina and weighs 14.77grams. The brooch consists of short circular sectioned wings with a raised lip at each end, which contains a spring of eight coils. The bow which is circular in section, has a raised 'strip' with a rounded end on its upper section. This appears to be undecorated and directly under this the bow turns sharply inward, at this point the brooch has been damaged and most of its surface is missing. The catchplate emerges from the bow and is triangular in form. It has what appears to be deliberate nothes in the centre of its rounded edge. The brooch terminates with a spherical knop.
