Description: | This copper alloy piece is a fragment of a Roman trumpet brooch from the 1st ?? 2nd century AD. The lower part of the bow, the foot, the axis pin and spring, are missing. The head is circular and flared with an inverted ??V?? moulding from the top of the head down either side of the bow. The central section of the bow appears to have had three moulded circular rings, two of which remain intact.
The lug on the back of the head is pieced for the now missing pin. The surface has a mottled dark green/brown patination. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Trevaskus, Rod | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
