Description: | An incomplete copper alloy Polden Hill style brooch dating to the first century AD. The brooch is missing its spring and pin, but the rest is intact and in good condition. The brooch has short wings, the ends of which are decorated with double circumferential grooves. The curved bow of the brooch is decorated down the spine with a thin panel of multiple horizontal grooves, right down to the foot. Either side of the bow there is a curved, raised moulding. The catchplate is simple with no openwork. Similar examples are illustrated in Hattatt (2010:300). The Polden Hill variety of brooch dates from c. AD 75-175.
