Description: | Small cast Roman bow brooch of Polden Hill type, dating to the 1st century AD. The brooch is missing the catch-plate, spring and pin. The spring was secured by a Polden Hill claw type arrangement. There is the suggestion of some moulded decoration around the head, but elsewhere the brooch is plain. The bow has a D-shaped section and bends outwards at the foot, giving the bow an S-shaped profile. The bow has suffered some distortion at the foot, possibly resulting in an exaggeration of the S profile. Remnants of the catch-plate survive at the foot. | 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: | 43
