Description: | Elaborate cast copper alloy Trumpet brooch. The brooch has a convex oval head with two integral lugs on the reverse. The spring is missing. There is a large integral suspension loop at the top, with a composite fitting at the base. The fitting is a small loop of copper alloy with a circular boss at the front. The face of the boss is decorated with two recessed concentric circles, each of which would have once contained enamel. The face of the oval head is decorated with two smaller moulded ovals that stand proud of the surface. These ovals are set at the bottom of the original surface. The upper bow has a pair of moudled ridges down the centre and a moulded ridge at to either side. The ridge stems from the upper part of the oval head, just beneath the composite fitting. There are three transverse reels in the centre of the bow, with two moulded semi-circles above and below with a channel separating them from the reels. The lower bow is D-shaped in cross section and has a moulded ridge down the centre. Each side of the bow is decorated with four moulded reverse 'S' shaped that have trumpet-headed terminals. The recessed areas may have contained enamel however none now remains. The foot is reeled and on the underside there are two recessed concentric circles. The catchplate is intact. The surface has been silvered or tinned. | Subjects: | Trumpet | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Daubney, Adam - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
