Description: | A cast copper alloy trumpet brooch of early Roman date. The brooch is 61.37mm in length and weighs 16.16g. The oval head is plain apart from an incised line which borders the edge, and a small semi-circular knop at the top. The bow starts off almost horizontal and it then curves downwards into a full acanthus knop. Below this the brooch narrows towards the foot, which begins similarly to an acanthus but then terminates in a flat oval. This is decorated with an incised ring and dot. Part of the catchplate survives behind the foot. The back of the head is concave and there is a vertical loop which connects the upper knop with the other side of the head. The spring and pin are missing. Much of the brooch's original surface survives. This has a rich mid brown patina. | Subjects: | Trumpet | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Payne, Naomi - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
