Description: | Roman cast copper alloy trumpet brooch, Hull Group C, 2nd century, incomplete. The sprung pin would have been held within the single perforated lug on the reverse of the head - the spring and pin are missing and the lug is filled with solid corrosion products. Undecorated trumpet-shaped head, no evidence for a loop at the top fo the head, undecorated upper bow, crude and poorly moulded moulding at the centre of the bow flanked by lobes, the moulding does not continue on the reverse of the bow, which is flat. The rest of the brooch is broken off just below the moulding. Dark brown patina. The upper part of the bow is twisted so that the head curves to the right and twists to the left (so that the lug is facing left). Length 27.57mm, width across head 11.5mm, width across bow moulding 9.02mm, thickness (as curved) 13.41mm, weight 5.81g. | Subjects: | trumpet Hull Group C | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Atherton, Rachel - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
