Description: | Copper alloy Roman trumpet-headed brooch.
The main body of the brooch is complete but the pin and its mechanism are missing and the catchplate is broken (although part of it still remains). The pin was held on an axis bar in a recess between two lugs, one of which is broken, behind the large trumpet head. A small headloop was cast integrally with the head but this has broken before the loop with only the tab remaining.
The bow has a triple moulding close to the rounded trumpet head. The moulding is rounded on the front and flat at the back, showing just as grooves. The foot is small and rounded with two grooves running around it. | Subjects: | Trumpet-headed | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McIntosh, Frances | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
