Description: | Roman copper alloy brooch, 33mm long, 10mm wide with a weight of 5.5grams. The brooch is in fair condition, being corroded and incomplete and has a brown and green surface patina. The brooch is an Alcester type, trumpet derivative brooch (No. 1539 in 'A visual catalogue of Richard Hattatt's Ancient Brooches'). The head comprises a chunky curving trumpet which has a suspension loop on its upper end. The trumpet which makes up half the brooch, curves 90o so that it touches itself and it terminates with a 8mm wide flat bottomed base. From here the brooch is a flat rectangular shaft, 5mm wide, protruding from the rear side of the trumpet terminal. There is a rib indicating where the catchplate would be on the reverse side, the brooch has snapped off here. There is also a pin lug in the centre of the upper part, but no pin. | Subjects: | trumpet derivitive Alcester | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Scott, Wendy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
