Description: | Roman trumpet type bow brooch dating from the late 1st-2nd century AD. Trumpet shaped head bent sharply backwards. The back of the head is slightly hollowed and carries a perforated lug which projects slightly above the head of the brooch. Moulded decoration on head comprises a pair of 'eyes' either side of a median double ridge and groove moulding. Between the bow and the leg is a triple moulding comprising a central flattened bead with a smaller bead above and below. The moulding continues around the back of the bow but is flattened. The leg has moulded decoration along its length either side of a median rib. The leg teminates in a flattened foot knob with a central projection on the base. The catchplate is complete but the spring gear and pin are missing. The brooch has a corroded surface but there are traces of white metal coating visible on the catchplate and the back of the leg and head. | 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: | 50
