Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy Roman Trumpet brooch dating from 75-175 AD. The trumpet head is undecorated. Behind the head there is a tubular hinged mechanism for holding the pin. The hinge mechanism and the pin no longer survive. The head loop is also missing. The upper bow is triangular in section and there is a collar around it at the junction where it meets the bow decoration. The bow has broken off below this collar, resulting in the loss of the catchplate.
A similar brooch can be seen in Hattatt, p326, Fig: 185. | Subjects: | Trumpet | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Booth, Anna | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
