Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy Roman Trumpet brooch dating from 75-175 AD. Behind the head the loop which would have held the tubular spring / pin mechanism survives in place, along with the coiled spring, it is corroded. The pin mechanism and pin are all missing. The head is shaped like the bell of a trumpet and it is smooth. The upper bow is oval in section. The main decorative feature is a wide collar of acanthus moulding that extends right the way around the bow - this is however very worn. The lower bow is badly damaged and has largely broken off. A similar brooch can be seen in Hattatt, p328, Fig: 187. | Subjects: | Trumpet | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
