Description: | Roman copper alloy Polden Hill variant brooch, 38mm long, 26mm wide and 15mm thick. The object is in fair condition with a green patina and weighs 13.33grams. The brooch consists of semi-circular sectioned wings which hold a spring of 12 coils. The wings are decorated at their ends with one vertical incised line. The bow is quite broad where it meets the wings and has a distinct rectangular shaped platform. It has a raised ridge running its length which is flanked on each side by an elongated incised triangle. Below this the sides have a curved recess which begins at the edge of the rectangular platform and tapers out just before a raised circular protrusion which in turn has a ridge running across it. The bow tapers slightly in width and is almost complete, just missing its round base. It does have a complete catchplate, 14mm long, which has a curled edge 10mm long. | 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
