Description: | Roman copper alloy trumpet brooch, 41mm long, 13mm wide and 4mm thick at shoulder. The object is in fair condition with a green patina and weighs 6.87 grams. The brooch has an intact upper suspension loop which sits on top of a rectangular base above the top of the bow. The spring is partly present, 3 coils can be seen between semi-circular pierced fixings and the whole area is covered with iron staining suggesting the pin is of this material. The bow is semi-circular in section and is plain except for the acanthus scroll at its shoulder. The brooch has snapped near its base but a section of catchplate, c.8mm long is present. | 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 |
