Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy Polden Hill brooch, dating to the 1st/ 2nd century AD (length: 40.4mm; width at wings: 26.1mm; thickness at head: 11.9mm; weight: 10.66g). The short semi-cylindrical wings have lugs at each end holding the axis bar and what appears to be the hinge at the back in place. There is one incised line half way across each wing as well as appendages to either side of the head. There are remains of a ridge starting at the top of the head with areas of bronze disease below. The bow is short with a small break half way down. The foot of the brooch, however, is missing and badly corroded with small areas of the catch plate remaining behind. Overall, the brooch is in a worn and poor condition with a dark green and patchy brown patina. | 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
