Description: | ?PS Unusual supporting-arm brooch, longitudinal groove above twin vertical lines on wings, reverse has broken projecting lugs at either end and one in centre with remains of perforation, twin oblique lines at bow, crudely incised transverse lines on bow and foot, closed catch-plate on reverse with fragment of iron pin, 26 x 35mm. Some doubt arises over the decoration of the upper bow which is more reminiscent of a Polden Hill brooch of the 1st cent., but other aspects of the object point to a post-Roman date. Scanned images have been examined by Helen Geake & Jude Plouviez. 5th century AD. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 410
