A cast copper-alloy trumpet brooch of the early Roman period, c. 75-200. The brooch is incomplete, with only the bow remaining. This survives from the confronted halfround acanthus leaf decoration flanked by collars and down to the location of a footknob, though the latter is missing. The lower bow is lozenge-shaped in section, with 4 small triangular cells down each face to either side of the central ridge. The breaks at either end of the bow are very abbraded, as is the break on the reverse of the bow from the lost catchplate.

Object type: SEAL MATRIX
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A Medieval cast copper alloy seal matrix of conical form. It has a faceted hexagonal shaft with a circular suspension loop. The design shows a bear walking right and the legend reads: " *TOVMBEBOSSE". Though the letters are quite clear, it is not easy to understand what this means. A similar seal matrix is NLM-359707 which has a mouse instead of a bear and again, has a legend which is not understood. Circular, non-personal seal matrices became common from 1300 onwards, with the legend and device often forming a witty partnership (Harvey and McGuiness). This example is probab…
