Description: | Head fragment of a Roman copper alloy brooch of Dolphin or Polden Hill type and dating to the 1st century AD. The brooch is represented by the head with one of the wings only. The brooch employed a Polden Hill claw type arrangement to secure the spring. The wing is plain and has an expanded terminal. The bow carried comparatively heavy cast ornament consisting of opposing C scrolls at either side of the head, with ribs continuing down the bow from the lower end of the scroll. At the centre of the bow is a low groove. The bow has a D-shaped section and appears to have been tinned or silvered. | 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 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Mark Lodwick | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
