Description: | Copper alloy brooch, Trumpet type. Incomplete pin, bent and damaged catchplate; fairly corroded/abraded (cleaned). The original spring is held by an axis bar through a central lug; however only five coils remain, the sixth would have extended into the pin but this has been replaced by a separate pin with pierced terminal from a hinged brooch type. Presumably the axis bar originally extended to form the headloop.The head has no surviving decoration.The upper bow is circular in section, and the central mouldings are fully round. The central moulding is wide, with three ribs, the middle one probably originally beaded; this is flanked by concave areas and then a triple rib. The lower bow has two flatter faces meeting in a central angle, and no surviving decoration. The foot consists of four transverse ribs and increases in width with a flat end. Length 41mm, width 13mm. Similarities to Hattatt nos. 947 and 951. | 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: | 80
