Description: | An incomplete copper alloy Romano-British trumpet brooch. The foot is missing, as is some of the bow and most of the catchplate. The bow is hemispherical in section with a flat back. The bow is decorated with geometric mouldings above and below the acanthus decoration; the moulding above has the remains of enamelling; some appears red but mainly the colour is uncertain. The bow is straight until just above the acanthus, when it bends to form an angle of slightly less than 90 degrees. The head continues the enamelled geometric moulding, and flares out to form the trumpet. The head is hollow, with a wire loop projecting at a right angle from behind it, to hold the pin mechanism probably a spring, and a small projection at the top of the head. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
