The brooch has characteristics of both Polden Hill and Head Stud brooches, having a distinct raised circle half way down its bow. The brooch has short wings with a raised ridge at their ends and contain a spring of 12 coils which has some rust coloured corrosion on it. The upper part of the bow is decorated with seven leaf shaped raised areas which have yellow enamel in them (these are laid out as two pairs of three with one joining them together). Directly below these is the circular raised area which has a raised circle in its centre which is also filled with yellow enamel. The decoration is raised up off the bows surface and shows as a ridge from the side. The brooch terminates in a spherical terminal which has the base of the cathplate wrapped around it. The catchplate is 28mm long and it continues up the back of the brooch as a ridge. The brooch is similar to Hattatts F.159 No 377 | 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: | 100
