Description: | Copper-alloy Trumpet brooch. The bow head is a sub-oval shape in plan which has ornate high-relief celtic-style motifs. On the reverse the bow head is concave with a large central vertical lug which has a circular hole. The bow has a moulded plain acanthus at the apex, and the lower portion is decorated with a vertical ridge and a zig-zag design either side. The bow foot is moulded with vertical ridges and has a small knop on the base. There are traces of white-metal coating, otherwise the brooch has a good mid green patina. The pin, spring and axis bar are missing. The catchplate is also incomplete. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
