Description: | A fragment of a cast copper alloy Roman trumpet brooch. The fragment consists of the flaring 'trumpet' head and the bow as far as the bottom of the stylised acanthus moulding. The rest of the bow and the foot are missing. The head is undecorated with a small projection at the top which presumably was the start of a suspension loop. Behind the head it is hollow for the pin, but the pin mechanism is missing. The bow is roughly circular in section, decorated with a small raised collar just above the acanthus moulding. The acanthus moulding is very stylised, being a disc held between two flat crosses. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
