Description: | Fragment of copper alloy Roman Trumpet-headed brooch, consisting of the trumpet head complete with spring and projecting loop, and very top of the bow only. It is 20mm in length and weighs 5.16g.
The head is 13mm in width and to the reverse has a hollowing, C-shaped in section, to house the spring. The axis bar is held in a piercing at each end. Five and a half coils survive and there would only have been six. The 'half', at the centre, would have extended into the pin shank. One end coil extends into a worn point and would have been the chord which curled below.
2nd century in date. | Subjects: | Trumpet-headed | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Hinds, Katie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
