Description: | A cast copper alloy Roman brooch of a trumpet variant, 36.5m long, 10.1mm wide and 8.3mm thick (at the spring mechanism). The foot is a small plain moulded knob. Behind this the catchplate has broken off but was probably sub-triangular in shape originally. Above the foot the leg has 3 facets, and flares out to accommodate a stud midway along the bow instead of the usual acanthus leaf moulding. This stud has a circular mount (9.6mm diameter) with a central boss. It was probably originally enamelled but his has not survived. The circular mount sits on a square panel with rounded corners. Above the stud the bow flares out in a trumpet shape to hold the spring mechanism, which is still present although the pin is now missing. There is the remnant of a loop at the top of the head although it is also now missing. | 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: | 100
