Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy Colchester Two Piece Trumpet brooch, dating to the 1st/ 2nd century AD (length: 45mm; width [diameter] at head: 8.5mm; thickness/ depth: 20.5mm; weight: 7.0g). At the top of the brooch, the corroded head is circular in plan, but then tapers inwards to form a D-shaped sectioned neck, which in turn forms the top of the arched bow of the brooch. At approximately 20mm from the head of the brooch, there is a corroded, central and moulded decoration in the form of a button, which runs across the width of the bow and protrudes out from the front of the artefact. The brooch?s bow then continues for 28.5mm below this decoration before it terminates in an incomplete and broken stump. At the back of the head, the central lug is all that remains. There is no decoration on the back of the brooch. Overall, the brooch fragment is in a worn and corroded condition with none of the original patina remaining. Additionally, there are areas of bronze disease on the artefact, particularly at the back of the brooch. | 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
