Description: | Romano-British copper alloy brooch of Polden Hill type. Complete but for the catch-plate area, pin and spring. Bow decorated with well defined longitudinal mouldings along its sides with, towards the wings, a third, medial, moulding. Around the ends of the wings are circumferential mouldings which follow the line of the two perforated circular plates which fill the ends of the wings and which holds the pin chord. The underside of the wings is hollowed to accomodate the coiled spring. On the end of the bow is a hook which held the centre of the coiled spring.
