Romano-British, copper alloy Colchester derivative brooch of the Polden Hills type.

Small copper alloy figurine of classical style in a battered state. Right arm appears to be raised with the left lowered or forward pointing, but both are broken. Head area is badly damaged, with no trace of any features surviving and even its original shape is unclear. It appears to be a female figure in a long skirt, either bare chested or with a tight fitting top. The long pointed nature of the head could indicate a helmeted figure which could suggest that the figurine was of Minerva, an identification supported by the apparently raised right arm which would fit with holding a spe…

Roman copper alloy bow brooch of Dolphin or Polden Hill type and dating to the 1st century AD. The brooch is incomplete, missing the lower bow, the majority of the wings and the spring.

The head of the bow is comparatively large (12.5x14.5mm) and was decorated with a central raised V-shaped crest, possibly covered in punched marks. The bow has a D-shaped section and emerges…
