Description: | This brooch has a trumpet head which terminates into a flat crescent-shaped plate with scratches or indentations radiatting outwards along the edge. There is no indication of a chain loop extending from the top of the head, but the brooch is particularly worn in this area. There is a central lug behind the head protruding outwards by 8mm with remains of the iron axis bar still attached and a fair amount of iron corrosion.
There is no clear 'acanthus' moulding down the front of the bow but the decoration does consist of five ridges protruding at irregular intervals down the centre. A small foot knob consisting of two ridges still exists as does the complete catch plate at the back of the brooch behind the foot.
The pin is missing, but otherwise the brooch is in good condition with a well developed dark green patina in places with slight corrosion.
There is no clear parallel to this brooch, but its features are still very charcteristis of the trumpet. | Subjects: | Trumpet | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
