Description: | Cast copper alloy sprung Polden Hill bow brooch, dating from the late 1st century through to the 2nd century. The pin has broken off just after the spring. The short catchplate is complete. The 10 coil spring is held in place by a rearward facing hook. A pair of flanges is cast at the ends of the wings and closed round the axis bar. The wings are decorated at the ends with grooves which go all around them. The bow is decorated with a central raised line running the whole length. On either side is a groove. The bow narrows towards the foot which is plain.
