Cast cu-alloy Colchester derivative (Polden Hill) type brooch |

Description |
English: An incomplete cast copper alloy Colchester derivative (Polden Hill, flat wing end type) brooch dating from the early Roman period, i.e. c. AD75 - 175.
Approximately 60% of the brooch is present consisting of half of the bow, wings and spring casing. The pin, pin rest and spring are missing. In plan, the brooch is almost T-shaped, and D-shaped in cross section. The bow head is hump-like, and angular (comma shaped) in profile, with cylindral wings projecting from either side at the top. The bow is decorated by moulded decoration only, but that is very worn. It probably consisted of a central vertical rib as well as two diagonal ribs extending from it. Each of the wings has a sub circular wing cap, with a perforation for the spring bar that held the (probably iron) spring in place. The remains of the fastening hook is located at the head of the brooch; this originally would have held part of the spring and it was where the tension originated. The back of the brooch is plain and undecorated. A cylindral groove is present along the length of the back, between the two wings and would have originally held the coiled spring. The brooch is a mid brown to dark green colour, and has an even surface patina. The patina has however been abraded from a couple of areas, mainly the vertical rib and the top of the wing caps. Colchester derivatives (Polden Hill style) brooches are one of the most frequently encountered Roman brooch types, with examples being recorded from the majority of England and Wales. Hattatt (2004) illustrated several examples of this style of brooch on page 300, figure 159. Examples #24, #25 and #26 exhibit a similar decorative style when compared to our example here from Worcestershire. #24 was from Lincolnshire whereas #25 and #26 were both from London. All Colchester derivative (Polden Hill) brooches are considered to date from c.75 AD to c.175 AD. Reference: |
