Description: | Roman copper alloy alcester type trumpet derivitive brooch, 32mm long, 13mm wide and 18mm thick. The brooch is in fair condition with a green patina and weighs 5.56grams. The brooch consists of a semi circular plate with a row of small rectangular protrusions on its curved edge. There is a bow emerging from the centre of its base and the rest of the plate is decorated with a crescent shaped enamel cell (the enamel present may have been red originally but is now a brownish colour). The bow turns at a right angle and is short with a sub-circular protrusion just below its bend. Below the protrusion is a rectangular plate with slightly splayed sides. This is decorated with four triangular enamel cells which are divided by two lines running from corner to corner. The enamel here is blue and possibly red. The reverse of this area contains an intact catchplate which runs up to the point of the circular protrusion. The spring has four coils and is held between to semi-circular lugs. | Subjects: | alcester type trumpet derivitive | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Scott, Wendy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
