Description: | Roman cast copper alloy Polden Hill type brooch fragment with hinge mechanism; AD 75-175. The hinged pin is broken off; it would have been held on a copper alloy axis bar encased within the cylindrical wings; the axis bar is secured by pierced plates at the end of the undecorated wings. A 'plate' rises on either side of the head, from the wings. There is a slight projection at the top of the head, possibly from a broken loop. The head of the bow is decorated with a short incised V; the rest of the bow appears to be undecorated. The lower half of the bow is broken off. The catchplate extended to the top of the bow at the base of the head. Length (incomplete) 25.3mm, width across wings 18.3mm, width at top of bow 8.0mm, thickness of bow 6.6mm, weight 8.38g.
