Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy Roman trumpet brooch dating to the late first or second century AD. The brooch comprises a characteristic trumpet head. A small lug extends from the head, which appears to be complete, rather than representing the remains of a head loop. The trumpet head conceals an integrally cast loop which would originally have held the axis bar, spring and pin in place. The bow extends from the head and is oval in section and arched. At the mid-point of the bow is an acanthus leaf moulding, which is flanked on either side by a single horizontal raised rib. Below the acanthus leaf moulding, the bow becomes lozengiform in section and tapers. The foot is missing and only a small part of the catchplate survives. The brooch measures 32mm in length. The head has a maximum width of 11mm. The bow has a maximum width of 6mm. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
