Description: | Romano-British copper alloy brooch of Polden Hill type. Complete but for the catch-plate area and pin. Bow decorated with longitudinal grooves down both sides, each flanked by a rib. There is a further medial line down the length of the bow. Above the wings the bow is decorated by two ear-like mouldings and around the ends of the wings are circumferential mouldings. These follow the line of the two perforated circular plates which fill the ends of the wings and which hold the pin chord. The underside of the wings is hollowed to accomodate the coiled spring which is still present. On the end of the bow is a hook which holds the centre of the spring.
