Description: | A copper alloy incomplete Roman brooch in the Polden Hill tradition and dating to c. AD 75-175. The brooch is missing part of the spring cord, the pin and lower bow and catchplate. The cord passes through a pierced ridge at the top of the bow which passes into the wings to form a spring of 13 coils. A moulded vertical ridge decorates the upper part of the bow. The wings are C-shaped in cross section with two semi-circular mouldings each side decorated with transverse grooves, flanked by narrower moulding either side. Bow is D-shaped in cross section.
