Description: | A fragment of a copper alloy 1st - 2nd century AD Trumpet brooch. All that remains is the head and the top part of the bow and part of the spring. The bow is slender and tapering. Where the bow and the head meet there are two incised grooves. There is a projection, now broken, on top of the trumpet head which is also decorated with horizontal grooves. On the reverse of the brooch there are two full turns and two part turns of the spring, attached between two pierced lugs. There are the corroded remains of the iron axis bar. A hoop of copper-alloy also survives jutting out from below the spring. All breaks on the brooch fragment look well worn and the metal has a light greyish-green patina. A direct parallel cannot be ascertained due to the fact that so little of the brooch survives. | 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
