Description: | A fragment of a copper-alloy Trumpet brooch from the 1st - 2nd Century AD, with a spring mechanism. All that remains of this brooch is the characteristic trumpet shaped head, the spring mechanism and part of the bow. The head has been decorated with a simple engraved line around the bell of the trumpet. The bow is triangular in section, creating a ridge design down the visible surface of the bow. The reverse of the bow is free from any decoration. The spring is still largely in tact, complete with four twists of the spring and two spool mouldings (either side of the spring, which keep the spring in place). These are mounted on the reverse of the trumpet head. The breaks all look very worn and the pin is no longer attached. The metal has a light greyish-green patina (the breaks are the same colour). | Subjects: | Trumpet brooch Fragment | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
