Description: | Roman copper alloy trumpet? brooch fragment, 33mm long, 5mm wide and 13mm thick. The brooch is in fair condition with a greyish patina and weighs 2.94 grams. The object consists of the lower part of a brooch which has a triangular sectioned strainght bow with a stepped semi-circular foot. The catchplate which is intact is distinctive, having a sub rectangular form. It has a gently sloping upper edge which merges into the bow and its base protrudes straight out for 5mm before its 'catch' slopes gently outwards. Given this form I would say it is from a trumpet or derivitive brooch. | 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 |
