Description: | Copper alloy brooch fragment, Trumpet headed type. Missing pin, most of the lower bow and catchplate, headloop; very corroded margins. The pin is sprung beween two lugs. The head has traces of decoration - a central line and a line across the middle following the curve of the top edge; these are now very corroded, perhaps originally silvered. A transverse double moulding at the base of the head consists of a narrow rib with a broader but largely missing flange below. At the back the lower edge of the Trumpet head joins the back of the flange, leaving a small (c.3mm) hole in profile. The lower bow is flat and probably originally much wider than the 2mm which survives; there is a trace of white metal on a tiny boss in the centre. Surviving width 11mm, surviving length 26mm. Type as Hattatt nos 1539, 1540. | Subjects: | Trumpet related Hattatt Alcester type | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Plouviez, Judith | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
