Description: | PalmerIncomplete cast copper-alloy Polden Hill brooch. Roman period, c.AD75-175. Mass: 1.2g; width: 17.6mm; length: 51.5mm; depth: 14.8mm. The brooch would have been T-shaped in plan, but one semi-cylindrical side-wing is incomplete and the other remains only as a stub. The bow is arched in profile. There is a moulded plate on each side of the head. There are two raised ribs running down the front of the head, with small punched rings decorating the area between the ribs. The bow is heavily corroded and the extent to which the decoration continues from the head is unclear. The catchplate is missing, but is indicated by a ridge on the reverse of the bow. The spring, pin, external chord and axial rod are also missing. There is a ridge on the head - the remains of the rearfacing hook or lug which would have secured the external chord.
