Description: | A copper alloy Roman trumpet brooch which is 40.3mm long, 14.3mm wide and 17.4mm from front to back. The brooch has a plain and undecorated trumpet mouth and bow and has slight swellings above and below the acanthus button. This is very worn. It has four petals above and below the central collar and the moulding continues right round the back of the bow. There are two slight ridges on the back of the bow above the button. The catchplate partially survives. The bottom of the bow just tapers to a point. There is a loop behind the head of the brooch which holds the spring, of which only half survives. There are three coils round what appears to be a hollow pin through the centre of the spring, all on one side of the loop. The pin does not survive. Trumpet brooches are usually dated to the second century. Similar examples can be seen in Snape??s (1993) Roman Brooches from North Britain. | Subjects: | trumpet | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
