Description: | Copper alloy trumpet brooch. Highly decorated, surface covered with deeply cast, curvilinear mouldings. No trace of enamelling. Foot of the brooch keeled and bore a row of ringed-dots down each side (now mostly lost to corrosion). Two incised lines ran down the length of crest of the foot with two further lines each side. Foot terminates in a small pad-like disc separated from the foot by a groove. Between the foot and the bow are two grooves between which is a transverse disc both faces of which bear five raised billets. These are restricted to the upper part of the disc. The head is expanded and bears deeply moulded, symmetrical volutes. On the underside of the head is a shaped rib through which is a hole for the attachment of the spring. | Subjects: | Trumpet | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Leahy, Kevin - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
