Description: | The object is an incomplete Trumpet Brooch which dates to the 1st to 2nd century AD. It is made of cast copper alloy and is incomplete.
The head of the object has been damaged and is missing in parts therefore its original shape is unknown. The reverse of the head appears to be slightly hollow. In the centre of the head is a large protrusion formed out of an integral sub-oval piece of copper. The strip has been coiled to form a large sub-circular lug. The bow is sub-circular in cross-section and in profile forms an inverted ?J? shape. The bow is heavily corroded making any decoration indistinguishable except for the large moulded central button. The bow leg tapers to a blunt point. The catchplate, foot, spring and pin are all missing.
The brooch is dark green-brown in colour. It is heavily corroded and in a very poor condition. The length of the brooch from upper edge of the head to the foot is 48.4mm, the width across the head is 9.1mm, the thickness at the head is 25.8mm and the weight is 8.41g. | 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
