Incised line around the rim of the head. The upper part of the bow is sub-circular in section, and is decorated with three central longitudinal raised ridges which extend roughly half-way down to the central moulding, and with three raised pellets on the left side, and one raised pellet on the right side. Central moulding of a disc with collar above and below; the lower collar bears an incised circumferential line. The lower part of the bow, below the central moulding, is triangular in section and decorated with about six longitudinal ridges. The foot is broken off; the top of the catchplate is visible on the reverse, extending up to the central moulding. Fine dark green patina with evidence of tinning/silvering. Length 41.15mm, width across head 14.62mm, width across bow moulding 11.68mm, thickness 16.0mm, weight 14.05g. | Subjects: | trumpet | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Atherton, Rachel - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
