Description: | Cast copper alloy Polden hill brooch length 34mm, width 15mm. Semicircular, concave cross-section wings, both of which are heavily truncated so that the terminals are missing, but would have had backward facing lugs at either end of the wings with a hole in the centre for the spring support bar. At the back of the head is the remains of a backward facing hook that would have held an external cord of the spring. A crest runs from the top of the head down the length of the bow, this crest has parallel dot motif on either side running down its length. The foot is truncated as is most of the catch plate, this is an old break.
These are dated to 80-120AD. | 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: | 80
