Description: | Roman copper alloy trumpet brooch, 44mm long, 27mm wide and 13mm thick. The brooch is in fair condition with a brown patina and weighs 10.57 grams. The object consists of the upper part of the brooch with an oval head bordered with a line of incised triangles. The bow emerges from the centre of the head and is sub-circular in section and has a shoulder decorated with an acanthus scroll. At this point the brooch has snapped off and is quite worn suggesting an old break. The reverse of the head contains a semi circular recess which is flanked by the remains of two semi-circular lugs which would have held the pin. | Subjects: | trumpet | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Scott, Wendy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
