Description: | A cast trumpet brooch with the stump of a chain loop remaining at the top when the object is held foot pointing downwards; the trumpet head is large and plain, narrowing towards the bow and then widening into a solid boss which resembles a horses hoof in both plane and profile views, the leg tapers slightly, running from the back of the boss down to a very small terminal foot knop, there appears to be some decoration on the front of the leg, which is obscured by corrosion products, but may be 3 sub-rectangular cells with possible enamel inserts; the reverse of the head is hollow, and the small bow between the head and the boss is strongly C shaped when viewed in profile, a central ridge runs down the back of the flat fronted leg terminating in the remains of the triangular catchplate | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 43
