Description: | Almost complete cast cu-alloy trumpet brooch dating from the early Roman period, c. 2nd century AD. The brooch is complete except its spring coil and pin which are missing. The surviving body is very worn and corroded in places. The head is shapes like a trumpet (hence the name) with a cast loop (that held the spring in place) underneath. The bow's decoration (moulded circular grooves around the bow and a moulded reel framed by two acanthus leaves) are still clearly visible. The foot and catch plate are quite long; most of the catch plate is missing. The stud at the front of the foot is still in place. | Subjects: | Trumpet | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Boughton, Dot - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
