Description: | Cast copper alloy trumpet brooch dating from c.75-175 AD.
It is a sprung brooch with the spring still remaining wrapped around the axis bar but the pin having broken off. The axis bar is held in place by a moulded attachment which is set on the reverse of the head. The head is rounded in the trumpet shape but is plain, with no decoration.
The bow has a circular cross section and has a moulded bead at the knee. The brooch has broken before the foot and most of the catchplate is missing. The bow narrows after the bead towards the foot. | Subjects: | Trumpet | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McIntosh, Frances | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
