Description: | The bow head is a sub-oval shape in plan. On the reverse there are two vertical lugs which support an axis bar. Around the axis bar a portion of the rectangular sectioned spring is coiled. The pin is missing.
Protruding from the upper edge of the bow head there is a sub-semi-circular shape with an incomplete loop at the apex.
The bow has been slightly distorted in shape. It is oval in section with a moulded semi-circular sectioned acanthus at the apex od the bow.
Below the acanthus the bow is broken, but not recently. There is a small portion of the catchplate attached to the lower portion of the bow. Above and below the acanthus the bow is decorated with horizontal linear grooves.
The underside ofthe bow has some iron staining. The patina of the spring is a gren/blue colour whereas the bow has a mid green color. | Subjects: | Trumpet | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
