Description: | Polden Hill type bow brooch. The head is humped over, the wings terminate in oval lugs which are pierced to their rear to support the axis bar of the spring mechanism. The bronze spring is present but the external chord and pin are missing. A rearward projecting hook at the top of the head would have held the external chord in place. Oval mouldings on either side of the head continue beneath the head to form a swelling. The continuously curving and tapering bow is decorated with ridge and grooves. Uncertain whether this continues for the length of the bow due to wear. Only a fragment of the catchplate remains. | 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: | 50
