Description: | Roman copper alloy polden hill brooch, 36mm long, 21mm wide with a weight of 5.4grams. The brooch is in fair condition, having some corrosion and has a brown patina. The bow is circular and tapers to a point. It has a raised rib running down the upper part which terminates as a protrusion over the spring casing. There are two areas of incised decoration at either side of this rib about two thirds of the way up the brooch. The wings are semicircular with raised edges designed to hold the spring's pin in place, only one of these is now present. The entire spring and pin are missing and only a trace of the catchplate remains. The brooch is similar to Hattatt No1514, Fig.160. | 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: | 1
