Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy Polden Hill brooch of early Roman date. The brooch measures 70mm by 41.3mm by 5.3mm and weighs 22.5g. The semi-cylindrical wings would have concealed the spring and axis bar for the pin, all of which are missing. In the centre of the wings is the curving crest which would have secured the spring's chord. The wings are decorated with a circumferential grooved line close to each end. The bow projects forwards and slightly upwards from the wings. It is decorated with a two parallel longitudinal grooved lines, between which are regular closely-spaced short transverse lines. The bow tapers into a blunt point which conceals the flat triangular catchplate. The centre of the bow has been slightly bent out of shape.
