Description: | A fragment of a cast copper alloy Roman period Polden Hill style brooch, dating from the 1st to 2nd centirues AD. The brooch fragment consists only of the head and the upper part of the bow. The head of the brooch has wings that has volute moulding flanked by fine ribs (Hattatt 1985:82). The top of the bow has grooved mouldings running down the spine. The terminals of the wings would have been enclosed and a small hole would have enabled the pin spring to pass through. On the head of the brooch the perforated lug that would have held some of the spring is intact, althoughno trace of the pin or spring survives. Same as Hattatt (1985:84) No. 376.
