Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy Roman brooch of the Polden Hill type. The brooch has a sharply curving bow that extends down to the catchplate, which is now incomplete but appears to have been of the openwork variety. There is now decoration or ribbing on the bow or elsewhere. The head of the brooch retains the spring box but the spring and pin is now missing. This brooch is similar to those in Hattatt (2007), for example number 24 (p300). They date to the first century AD.
