Description: | A cast copper alloy Roman trumpet brooch from the 2nd century AD. The foot is missing. The bow has flat section, with the catchplate behind. The catchplate has (at least) 2 drilled perforations in it (and has broken so there may have been more) whose function is unclear. The moulding on the bow is not acanthus but a geometrical arrangement of grooves and collars. The head flares out in a trumpet with a loop behind holding the pin and spring mechanism (still present) in place. | Subjects: | Trumpet | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Evans, David - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
