Description: | Incomplete copper alloy Trumpet brooch of Collingwood??s Riv group, The bow and head are missing above the mid-bow acanthus decoration. The acanthus decoration does not extend round the back of the bow. Above and below the acanthus moulding is a horizontal linear moulding. The lower bow is triangular in section, uncurved, and tapers slightly towards the foot and is 4-6mm wide. It has an incised line down the outer edge and running from the acanthus to the foot. An additional incised line on one side only runs between the mid-point and outer incised line. The foot is semi-circular in section with two curved decorative mouldings and stands proud of the lower bow. The catchplate is complete and curving, and extends from just below the acanthus decoration. Broken length 42mm. This is a cheaper version of the Trumpet (its decoration is not three-dimensional) and dates from the 2nd century. | Subjects: | Trumpet | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
