Description: | Roman copper alloy trumpet derivative brooch. The object is 35.5mm long, 9.7mm wide, 20.8mm thick and weighs 4.46grms.
The brooch has a pin lug (single lug) with a hinged mechanism. No pin survives.
The object has a bow with a pronounced curve. The head of the brooch has no wings and instead terminates in a flat disc. Above the disc is a large loop with radiating lines around the edge. At the peak of the bow are three horizontal ridges, with the central ridge larger. The foot of the brooch tapers slightly, and has a small blade-like protrusion for the catchplate on the back. The protrusion has been worn down and no catchplate remains.
The Brooch is in fair condition with a green/brown patina. | Subjects: | Trumpet trumpet derivative | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Johns, Phillip | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
