Description: | Copper alloy trumpet derivative brooch. A loop, now broken, extends from the top of the head (Th. 1.53mm). The wings, which are hollow and worn on the outer edges, extend to either side of the head which then tapers to the bow (L. 12.29-5.36mm. Th. 5.83mm). The bow tapers (W. 4.85-3.70mm. Th. 3.56-1.89mm) and is angled sharply before continuing towards the foot, which is now slightly twisted to one side. The foot terminates in a small protruding knop (L. 2.55mm. W. 4.05mm). There is a longitudinal ridge along the centre of the head and upper section of the bow. Where the bow is sharply angled there is also with moulded decoration in the form of three raised lateral ridges. The middle line is thicker with nine parallel incised transverse grooves. The pin which passes through the wings survives together with the remains of the pin hinge, however the pin itself is now missing. The catchplate survives on the reverse of the lower portion of the bow and foot, although it is now twisted to one side (L. 16.05mm. W. 6.11mm. Th. 0.91mm). Patchy mid-green patina. | 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: | 1
