Description: | A cast copper-alloy trumpet-related brooch with a projecting disc on the bow from the early Roman period, probably dating to the 2nd century.
The head is a compressed trumpet type with lugs on the reverse and the remains of a spring coil. The upper part of the bow has a spade-shaped ornament with a central band running from the head to a downward projecting disc that emerges from the bow at its midpoint. The projecting disc is worn, but it was originally tiered, with a slightly raised in disc, leaving an unraised outer crescent. The bow continues below the disc and is T-shaped in section, with the top of the T slightly domed toward the outside. The foot has broken just where the catchplate began to emerge from the bow. In profile the bow is slightly question-marked (?) in shape. | Subjects: | projecting disc Trumpet-related | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Collins, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
