Description: | Trumpet brooch, copper alloy dating from the 1st-2nd century AD. It has been gilded and this remains in patches across the surface.
It is mostly complete with just the pin and spring missing. The catchplate has broken before it folds over to hold the pin.
There is a perforated lug behind the head which would have held the spring. There is moulded decoration on the head which may have held enamel. The decoration splits the head into 2 parts. There is a circle on each side of the head. Inside the circle is a trilobe design. Around the circle is a curvilinear design.
There is extensive moulding both above and below the central acanthus in the form of circular discs. The foot has some small raised ribs around it. | Subjects: | Trumpet | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McIntosh, Frances | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
