Description: | Incomplete Roman copper alloy Trumpet brooch, c. 1st-2nd century AD, missing lower bow and catchplate.
The brooch measures 32mm in length and is 24mm at its widest part. It weighs 8.2g.
The brooch would have had hinged mechanism but the pin is missing, the tubular wings are still present. There is no sign of a loop. The head of the brooch is plain. The brooch extends back by 11mm, curving at the end to meet the button which is decorated with a raised lateral line, followed by three raised points, a central raised lateral line, a further three raised points and finally another raised lateral line.
cf. Hattatt, 1989, pg.326, no.959 for button decoration. | Subjects: | Trumpet | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cannings, Alice - Salisbury and South Wiltshire Museum | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
