Description: | A complete Early Roman cast copper alloy brooch dating from between 75-175 AD. Behind the head is an integral loop with a spring pin fitting attached via a chord. The head is very wide and trumpet shaped. The head narrows sharply to form a large wide upper bow around the whole of the brooch before narrowing again to a raised collar with two incised lines. These do not appear on the reverse. The lower bow is very slightly curved. It is decorated on the front side only with a raised spine. The lower bow culminates in a foot knob and the brooch is D shaped in section. The length is 74mm, the width 15mm, the thickness 4mm and the weight 35.57g. The metal has a green patina which is corroded in places and survives in a reasonable condition. | Subjects: | Trumpet | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Boughton, Dot - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
