Description: | Bow brooch: An Early Roman (1st-2nd C) trumpet brooch. Like all trumpet-headed brooches, this example has a flared, trumpet-shaped head rather than a crossbar, which in the present case encloses a short spring (3 turns, internal chord). Above the head there is a truncated crest, while the bow is elegantly curved, and decorated with ribbing and a central moulding. The catchplate is large, solid, unornamented, and triangular in shape, and the foot is small, with an expanded, circular profile. The pin is now lost, broken off just below the spring.
The brooch has a patchy green surface coating, and is heavily abraded. | Subjects: | Trumpet | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Ashby, Steven - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
