Description: | Trumpet brooch, complete except for spring, pin and chain loop, but very corroded. The head has curvilinear decoration with traces of enamel, now red but originally perhaps another colour; on the reverse is a large perforated lug. The bow has two or three transverse mouldings above an acanthus, then a button, then another acanthus and three mouldings; all the decoration is on the front only, with the back flat. The leg is triangular in section, with a row of tiny cells for enamel on each facet; the corrosion bubbles have obscured almost all of them. The foot is a grooved button. Catchplate on reverse. 1st to 2nd century AD. (TF 7150 2380). | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
