Description: | A cast copper alloy trumpet derivative brooch of first to second century AD date. The brooch measures 43.1mm in length and weighs 5.33g. The plain head, unadorned with the exception of a broken head stud, conceals the axis bar for a hinged pin (missing). The forward projecting bow narrows slightly into a simplified acanthus knop, which is decorated with incised parallel vertical lines. Below this the bow narrows further into a forward-projecting and knurled foot, behind which is a triangular curving catchplate. Similar brooches are illustrated in Hattatt's 'Visual Catalogue' (2000, p. 330, fig. 189, nos. 443, 962 and 963). | 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: | 43
