Description: | A cast copper alloy Roman trumpet brooch variant, 28.0mm long, 12.9mm wide and 6.6mm thick (at the spring housing). The foot is elaborately moulded with a knob with 2 deep grooves flaring out and a collar above. Behind the foot are the remains of the catchplate which has broken off. Immediately above the collar the bow of the brooch flares out into the 2 flat 'wing' panels of a 'fly' variant brooch. These would have held enamelling in the 2 cells but this has not survived. Above the 'wings' the bow flares out in a trumpet shape to house the spring mechanism, which is still present, although the pin is missing. At the top of the head are 2 small projections, the remains of an integrally cast loop. There are patches of tinning, quite thick in places, surviving. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
