Description: | Polden Hill Brooch
Roman 50-200
40mm long, 26mm wide, 6mm thick
Small wing with a semicircular concave cross-section on either side of the head (right wing is missing), there would have been a lug on the terminal of each wing projecting to the rear, each would have had a hole in the centre for the pin support bar, but this section is very worn and much of the lug has corroded away. The terminal of the wing has an expanded border running around the top outer edge.
The head of the bow in concaved on the reverse, is very square but with rounded corners and narrows slightly towards the foot. Plain bow. The bow is broken halfway down resulting in the foot and all of the catch plate missing.
The patina of the artefact is mid to light green where much of the original surface has corroded away, but there are patched of mid to dark green which is the original surface.
Similar examples have been found at Frocester (35-37, 2000, Price) and would date to the late 1st century into the 2nd century | 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
