Description: | Incomplete copper alloy Roman Trumpet brooch, missing its pin and most of its loop. Both lower and upper bows are bent into a slight S-shape. The head is rather curious in that it does not extend above the wings, but stops at the top. A loop extends upwards, which is broken, standing on two 7mm long ribs. The wingspan is 14mm and the axis bar appears to be iron (ornage corrosion) and corroded into place. The bow drops to a frontal acanthus (Collingwood's type R iv). Both bow and acanthus are hollowed inside a 1mm outer edge, and C-shaped in section. The front of the bow is triangular in section. Below the acanthus is an area with a 1mm wide boundary, inside which are 12 copper alloy diamonds or lozenges. The area around may have been filled with enamel, though there are no traces now. The foot is semi-circular without a setting. At the reverse of the lower bow the catchplate extends. It does not extend outwards until about half way down the lower bow. It extends backwards 7.5mm. The curl is missing through wear. 1st-2nd century. Incomplete and bent length 57mm, weighs 8.14g | 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
