Description: | Romano-British copper alloy brooch of Polden Hill type. Complete but for the pin, some damage to the catch plate area. Half way along the bow it becomes wider, the broad area being decorated with well defined longitudinal mouldings along its sides with, towards the wings a third, medial moulding. These mouldings bear fine,incised, transverse lines. Around the ends of the wings are two circumferential lines separated by bands of, again, transverse incised lines. The underside of the wings was hollowed to accommodate the coiled spring. Part of the spring is present but is now mis-placed. The ends of the wings are blocked by small discs through which are holes that held the pin chord.
