Description: | Roman Trumpet type brooch. Incomplete and in worn and corroded condition. Denuded circular head bent sharply backwards decorated with a symetrical enamel pattern comprising a pair of 'eyes' with triangles at their centre and a triangular enamel panel extending from beneath each 'eye'. The surviving enamel is black and green although this may not have been its original colour. At the back of the head is the remains of a central perforated lug which would have supported the spring mechanism. The central waist bead comprises a flattened circular bead, which extends around the back of the bow, with a smaller flattened bead above and below. The footknob is missing and the catchplate is much denuded through corrosion. None of the original surface remains. | 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: | 55
