Description: | Roman copper alloy Trumpet bow brooch of Late 1st - 2nd century AD date. The large oval trumpet head is surmounted with a chain loop on a cross-bar decorated with an incised hatched motif on a concave panel. The brooch would have had a spring mechanism with on iron axis bar, which is now missing. The open spring was housed between lateral lugs. The bow is slight with a low D-shaped cross section and has been bent inwards. The front of the bow is decorated with an acanthus button with two ribs above and beneath. The beginning of the catch-plate is emerging from the rear of the bow before the break. | 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: | 75
