Abraded and corroded head of a small, copper alloy brooch. Patina is smooth dark green in places, but much of the surface is coloured light green by bronze disease. Possible hint of pattern on top surface but corrosion is so bad as to make it indistinguishable. To the rear, above the spring housing are two shallow grooves, all that remain of a hook and groove system to hold the external wire chord of the spring. There would also have been an axis bar - so there were three ways of making sure all the bits of the spring held together. Probably a polden hill or dolphin br…

Fragment of a copper alloy disc with a central hole. Underneath the artefact is flat until near the central hole where it tapers in.
