Description: | Cast copper alloy Trumpet-derivative brooch. The brooch has the typical convex oval head found on Trumpet brooches. Behind the head is a spring of four turns held on an axis bar. The spring terminals are enclosed. There is an integral suspension loop at the top. The upper bow is curved and circular in cross-section and develops into a large double-looped openwork plate in the centre. The lower bow is D-shaped in cross-section and tapers to an incomplete looped foot. There is a damaged catchplate on the reverse. The pin is missing.
The metal alloy and the distribution of this type of brooch suggests a production centre in the North-East of Britain (Bayley, 2004, p170). | Subjects: | Trumpet derivative | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Daubney, Adam - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
