Description: | Copper alloy Polden Hill type brooch that has rearward facing lugs on either end of the wings that would have held the pin axis bar. A truncated loop at the top of the head would have held the spring external cord. The shoulders and terminals of the wings are expanded. A double band o pellets held within a linear border rind down the sides of the brooch with a double raised band running down the middle. The lower part of the bow is missing resulting in the loss of the catch pate. Date 80-120AD. There is a hole in the right wing showing that this brooch has been repaired when the loop at the end of the wing had broke, a wire would have been passed through this hole binding the spring into place
