Description: | A copper alloy Roman trumpet brooch. The brooch is 42.2mm long, 24.3mm wide and 14.5mm thick. The top part of the bow has been bent backwards badly so that the head of the brooch is level with the acanthus button. The pin mechanism and pin are missing. There is a loop to hold the mechanism behind the trumpet head which is oval and undecorated. The acanthus button continues right round the bow and has six petals above and six below the central rib. The lower part of the bow tapers to a point and some of the catchplate survives behind. The brooch has a patchy green patina. Similar brooches can be seen in Snape (1993) and are usually dated to the second century. | 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 |
