Description: | "Trumpet ". Illustration in Nottingham Archaeological Monographs 4 p138, From monograph - Grave 58 adult - '9b Part of Romano-British copper alloy Trumpet Brooch with remains of enamel inlay. Probably worn as a pendant. The head only is present, much worn at the break. The remains of the spring are mounted on a tube which ran through the loop behind the head of the bow. The whole arrangement has been kept in position by means of a wire loop and collar, now missing, the ends of the wire lodged in the ends of the tube. The cast-on loop has a nib projecting from its top which once restricted the movement of the loop and collar. There is a groove around the top of the head and the enamelled decoration was laid out on either side of the centre line. The principal field on each side has an arc set in ti with a small triangle at the top and, between this part and where the knop once started, are traces of a set of small cells whose reserved areas would have formed a saltire across the width of the bow. The only enamel noted was a faint trace of blue in the arcs. Length (incomplete) 30mm.',
