Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy Polden Hill brooch, dating from the late 1st to late 2nd century AD.The spring is contained within a cylinder, open on the underside, and is held in place by the axis bar and by an external chord, which passes through a rearward lug. The pin is complete but bent. The bow is of oval section, tapering towards the point of the break. The fact that the pin seems to be intact indicates that the original length of the brooch was probably not much greater than the surviving extent. The upper surface of the brooch retains traces of a white metal coating.Dimensions: 24.2mm long, 14.9mm wide, 13.7mm deep. Weight: 6.52g.
