Description: | Incomplete copper alloy Roman trumpet brooch, 2nd century AD.
The brooch consists of the lower bow, the foot, broken catchplate and the two lateral lines at the top of the lower bow which would have been part of the central bow button.
There is a ridge running down the lower bow but apart from the two lateral lines on the button there is no other decoration.
The bow is bent towards the right hand side, when looking at the front and tapers from 6mm to 4mm from the top of the bow to the foot. The foot then measures 6mm in width.
The catchplate is broken and only extends 4mm at its widest point.
The brooch is 37mm in length and weighs 5.5g.
