Description: | A copper-alloy Polden Hill brooch dating to the early Roman period. The brooch has semi-cylindrical wings in cross-section with fully rounded wing terminals. The terminals are pierced and would have secured a spring mechanism. The spring and pin are missing. At the top of the bow is a rearward hook. The front of the wings are both decorated with two slender vertical ribs resembling a line of rope. The bow is comma shaped in profile, D-shaped in cross-section and rather squat. The sides of the bow are also decorated with rope-like mouldings. A small catchplate is located at the base on the rear.
