Description: | An incomplete Roman copper-alloy and enamel Polden Hill type brooch, missing its enamel, axis bar and spring/ pin mechanism. It measures 35.3mm in length. The wingspan is 14.3mm and the wings C-shaped in section with circular end caps. They are decorated to the front with a vertical rib. One side lugs are damaged and broken across the piercing. The bow is surmounted by a (broken) pierced lug for the cord at the top of the wings. It is likely this extended to the top of the central panel but lost of patina has removed the evidence. Either side the pierced lug, flanking the edges of the wings, is a pair of thin ribs. These peter out towards the central part of the bow which has a serrated edge on either side and a panel of decoration between. These consist of three broadly rectangular recesses. To the reverse, the catchplate extends behind the lower bow.
